Lots of new Reviewers!
Posted by Maciej Stachowiak on Sunday, February 25th, 2007 at 7:07 pmIt is my pleasure to announce a number of new WebKit reviewers.
General reviewers
Lars Knoll - Lars is the original creator of KHTML, and has been doing a lot of work in the WebKit tree to port it back to Qt, and has also submitted some general refactoring patches and bug fixes. We are pleased to have his expertise in service of the WebKit review process.
Nikolas Zimmermann - Niko is the co-creator of KSVG2, with Rob Buis. In addition to all his original work on KSVG2 (and KDOM), Niko has been working in the WebKit tree for a while now, mostly on SVG fixes and improvements but also in other areas.
Port Reviewers
George Staikos - New port reviewer for Qt port. George started the effort to port WebKit back to Qt, in the form of the Unity project.
Krzysztof Kowalczyk - New port reviewer for the Gdk port. Krysztof has been doing an excellent job keeping the Gdk port building and working in the face of rapid WebKit changes.
Kevin Ollivier - New port reviewer for the wxWidgets port. Kevin started the wxWidgets port of WebKit and will be continuing the work on a soon-to-be-created branch.
Please join me in congratulating all the new reviewers.

Heh, looks like everyone’s porting WebKit to their GUI library of choice. Qt, GDK, wxWidgets…

Fantastic. So basically WebKit is expending it’s horizons beyond just Aqua. Excellent news, since WebKit is such a great rendering engine. I know there is a Windows browser being developed based on WebKit. Are there any others?

Now it’s need a FLTK2 (lightweight multiplatform toolkit) porter and making some porters to alternative platforms going into the official branch, like the MorphOS port ( http://www.ppa.pl/khtml/index_en.php ).
It’s really nice to see new ports are being integrated into the source repository to avoid forks and outdated code.

Congrats!
It’s good that most of the original KDE developers are involved again. I’m not sure there will ever be a true merger between the original KDE projects from which WebKit was forked, but hopefully this puts them on parallel paths for the future.
