Re: So what is happening with Safari Patches?

The nice thing would be to send the changes back as a series of patches, or atleast keep openly track of changes in their release, so we had a kind of changelog. Currently we have no idea of whether or not a bug is fixed in WebCore, or when we spot a change what is supposed to be good for.

I dont understand why they dont help... they where quite cooperative, the first time they did sent patches or at least a comprehensive list of changes, did they?

They still release a comprehensive set of changes in each version of Webcore, but most things rely on other things to be merged. And merging is very hard to do right without breaking stuff. A shared code base would probably been the best thing to do in hindsight. @ a khtml.org or something.

So does this mean that the Safari/khtml thing is screwed? Do we bascially have two seperate code bases that don't crossover at all? What need to happen to get these two groups working together again? Gecko is ok, but from a design standpoint khtml is far far superior and I just hate to see what could be one of our best deverlopment resources waisted.

Pretty much all developers working on KHTML also/mainly work on other areas within KDE, while KHTML definitely needs someone to focus on it full time (and doing so within KDE, not for Apple). When looking on CIA (see some posts further down this page) the only one who seems to work on KHTML exclusively is Germain Garand, someone should hire him to let him do so full time. =)
