Today we started the serious hacking. A lot of interesting topics are being covered:
- Philippe is working on fullscreen support for HTML5 elements with some help from Benjamin.
- Xan is working on easing performance analysis of JavaScriptCore.
- Martin has been playing with WebGL and some early work to improve the build.
- Alex fixed a leak when using CSS shadows and then spent the afternoon on a really complex graphics problem with a “blackboard moment” with Professor Otte.
- Joone was working with Gustavo to get the viewport element going.
- I got rid of gconf on epiphany-extensions, resurrected smart-bookmarks-on-context-menu extension, fixed a crasher on Epiphany, worked on avoiding Epiphany linking to libnss.
But the current lead of the scoreboard is Dan, who completed the first task of the week:
WebKitGTK+ hackfest: first task done. from diegoe on Vimeo.
There’s a strong feeling of “productiveness” and a lot of energy going on. We’ll see lots of progress this week!
I can feel the attack surface expanding already. Will there be any way to turn off? I pretty much do not want any of it.
Thank you guys for all the work on WebKit, please keep up the great work. However, is there any chance bug #596396 – https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596396 – is going to be solved during the hackfest? The font size problem is preventing me, but probably others as well, to dump Firefox in favor of Epiphany.
Please, add an session manager, spell checking and reopen closed tabs extensions to Epiphany 🙂
To me, any memory leak fix is something worth a big applause! Keep up the good work!
the reopen closed tabs option would be sweet, i hate to go to history and reopen it… 🙂 besides that, thank you very much for all your work guys, thank you very much
