Hi,
General overview of the WebKit covering following components would be very
helpful.
1. Loading phase (FrameLoader + DocumentLoader + MainResource Loader).
2. Parsing phase (HTML, WML, SVG etc).
3. Rendering phase (Layout, Painting).
4. Java script module.
For a beginner (like me), high level
+1 for WebKit talks.
I think the painting phase and it's Chromium port would be a very
interesting topic. Things like the GraphicsContext interface and the
GraphicsContextSkia implementation. What is required for a GraphicsContext
port? What is the bottleneck in the paint process (e.g. the Skia
I think there's some painting stuff touched on in the first round of talks,
but nothing terribly in depth. Are there others that would be interested in
this kind of talk? I'm a bit concerned that it wouldn't be very mainstream.
If so, who might be good to give it?

Definitely interested in the painting/rendering process. The previous
talk did not go into the WebKit/Skia painting details. I believe it
simply had mentioned that the browser maintains a backingstore that it
updates through SHM. It was more to show the browser/renderer painting
interaction than
+1 on WebKit painting. The rendering phase is very under-documented.
It would be pretty sweet if you could get Simon Fraser or Dave Hyatt
would do a tech talk on the WebKit stuff.

I'll see what I can do... :-)

It's not Chromium, but how about some WebKit tech talks? Such talks
would be incredibly valuable to those helping out now and then with
WebKit.

What types of WebKit topics?

A general big picture talk would be a great starter. How the DOM is
modeled, how the render tree works, the interesting objects ...

IMHO it would be immensely valuable to give a talk explaining what Layout
tests are and how they work in a *simple* enough manner to allow web
developers to create tests for bugs that affect them. I haven't found any
easily discoverable introductory material on this topic.
Best regards,
Jeremy
That's an excellent idea! Do you think you'd be able to give it? If not,
do you have any suggestions on who would be good? Maybe Pam?

+1 on the WebKit tech talks. And maybe on on the WebKitAPI infrastructure
that darin organized.

I'd be happy to give a talk about layout tests. It would help me if people
could suggest subtopics, or more simply, ask questions they'd like answered.
I've been working with the things for so long, it's hard for me to know
what's confusing or unclear anymore.

Something that would have been immensely helpful to me when I started was a
talk explaining the interaction between the javascript bindings,
HTMLFooElement classes and RenderFoo classes.
I'd volunteer, but I still don't know enough about this stuff myself --
other than when Foo == Media :)
Thanks for the suggestions so far! Here's what I've seen so far:
WebKit API - Darin?
Eric's WebKit talk
LayoutTests - Pam?
Bindings - Andrew?
Keep the ideas coming. If we get more than we want to tackle we can always
vote on which would be most helpful to the community, but all the ones I've
