New modules for GNOME 2.24New modules for GNOME 2.24Posted Aug 5, 2008 16:15 UTC (Tue) by Sutoka (guest, #43890)Parent article: New modules for GNOME 2.24
Based on the announcement, it sounds like Gnome may entirely switch to WebKit for for 2.26, completely dumping Gecko. It seems like WebKit has gained quite a reputation in the OSS community as being the little rendering engine that could, especially when compared to trying to work with Gecko it seems. Just a few short years ago I doubt anyone was expecting this to happen.

New modules for GNOME 2.24 Posted Aug 5, 2008 21:40 UTC (Tue) by bkor (guest, #27950) [Link] That is the plan. A lot of developers really like webkit-gtk; much easier to develop for than Mozilla. That, and it is faster on startup too for gnome-help (from 2.8s to 1.9s). Did not see the 'Mozilla' presentation at GUADEC, but it had 'Firefox3' in the name (seemed to focus on Ff3). The WebKit one showed all the cool stuff you could do with webkit, how to use it in applications, info on how it reused various GNOME components, etc.
