Unity Project: WebKit Ported to Qt 4

Posted by Maciej Stachowiak on Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 at 3:54 pm

The KDE team recently anounced the Unity project, an effort to port WebKit to Qt 4. WebKit was originally derived from KHTML, the html rendering engine for KDE. Since then, the two engines have followed separate development paths. But with this effort, we have the opportunity to once again have a single source base that works on both Mac OS X and KDE.

We are looking forward to merging in the porting patches from KDE, and to merging general improvements from KHTML that are not yet in WebKit. Working together with KDE and with our friends from Nokia, we can continue to build a world-class web rendering engine.

    Fantastic – I hope this improves open source relationships between the two organizations as you progress.
