seriosly speaking, when I start some new project I usually spend really much time on it, just can't sleep when there's some left what I can easily fix. however unfortunately after some time I'll implement most of important features and will lose interest and finally will abandon project as many others (and PSP users already going angry because I stopped development of my 3D virtual globe for PSP because of webkit ). so you should hope I will do enough until that
Just thought I'd add my thanks to this thread for the great work done on providing a better browsing experience. As a recent N810 buyer, the better browsing experience provided by webkit is one thing that's allowed me to justify keeping this device instead of switching to the touch (which has a great browsing experience IMO).
As a fellow dev, I know that the endless stream of bugs/feature work can sometimes become a chore. If you're ever in the bay area, you've got a beer waiting for you on me. =)
So it looks like pronvit has abandoned this project, but thankfully he left us the code. Not the last version unfortunately, so kinetic scrolling is missing, and the customized webkit source is missing as well.
Since this project is far too good to let it rot, I decided to try to give it a spin. Turns out it was not too hard to convert the project to use bundyo's webkit package, and with a few changes, it is now running reasonably well.
I uploaded the svn diff and debian package to my site. The version name is 0.0.9.1 to make clear this is not based on the 0.10 released by pronvit and really a downgrade (no kinetic scrolling). So re-implementing kinetic scrolling is what I'll eventually tackle next. Since I suck at writing C any help is really welcome.
PS: I did contact pronvit before starting to hack on this, and really hope we still hear from him, because I love the kinetic scrolling he implemented.
