If you are really interested in having people help with webcore, the thing to start with is putting the frameworks into darwin CVS. Monthly releases of source tarballs is just lip service.
Posted by Ben Hines at February 13, 2003 7:05 PMVery cool, David--this is exactly what I've been waiting to see! Are you able to say anything else yet about how the contribution process will work, or perhaps areas of the WebCore that need work?
Posted by Buzz Andersen at February 13, 2003 8:21 PMOuch, they stuck you with writing documentation? Bummer, man. :-)
Posted by oVeRmInD911 at February 13, 2003 8:58 PMHeh. Have fun.
WebCore could definitely use some documentation however. I also can't wait for this "Safari SDK" that the ADC email mentioned. I've tried hacking my way through WebKit and WebFoundation with a class-dump'ed header file, but didn't get very far.
Posted by Owen at February 13, 2003 9:03 PMJust a quick note that you should be able to set up a custom executable in the Project Builder projects that points to Safari and test your changes without having to "pollute" the copy of Safari on your disk. Of course, this means you have to launch Safari through Project Builder to try out your changes. If you want to use your altered frameworks independent of Project Builder, you'd have to drop them into Safari like Dave describes above.
Posted by Scott Tooker at February 13, 2003 9:32 PMHow about some documentation on the XBL backend, Dave? Or does it already exist? I haven't been able to find any....
Thanks for any help,
Boris
