[sldev] FYI: evaluating Webkit

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi folks,

FYI, you may notice we're sponsoring some work to evaluate Webkit as a 
possible replacement for Mozilla.  Alp Toker at Nuanti is working on 
this work, and has blogged about it here:

We're sponsoring this initial work because, based on our cursory 
evaluation, we have good reason to believe that switching to Webkit will 
result in performance, stability, and maintainability gains.  However, 
we don't know that for sure, so we're investing a little bit to see what 
Webkit as an integrated component would look like.  As you can see, Alp 
has been integrating Webkit into uBrowser which makes an 
apples-to-apples comparison feasible for us.

There's a separate dev and announcement list for this project available 
at the link above.  If you're interested in this work, that's a good 
place to go for updates.
