Hi all (and if not all, feel free to add them to CC).
I'd like to establish
WebKit SIG (or some sort of group of people interested in WebKit in Fedora -
no need for any official one) as it's quite an overhead to maintain such a big
beast here. We have QtWebKit, WebKitGtk, Chromium, KHTML... All very similar
but based on different toolkit, concept etc. and it's mess currently (with
responsibilities etc).
What's the reason?
- all WebKit-like implementations
are very similar with only a little differences (toolkit...)
- there are quite
a lot of CVEs - it's time consuming to go over all CVEs (thanks for great job
goes to Vincent Danen and other brave men from security response team) and
most of patches could be shared
- a lot of bugs affects all implementations -
again patches sharing
- sometimes the primary maintainer of one of WebKits is
out of time - that means other team member could help
- and probably many
other reason like we are on the same WebKit ship (and if it's going to
sink...)
What can I bring to the team?
I'm a current primary QtWebKit
maintainer (with help of rest KDE SIG people), upstream's WebKit security team
member. I don't care about used toolkit - I offer help with Gtk and other ones
too - what I care is user experience.
If you're interested in - please reply,
I'd like to start Wiki page and we can talked about more details
etc.
Thanks
Jaroslav
