Hi, can someone fill me in on what webkit is, and how to get it? someone
mentioned a nightly build, does that mean this is an open-source component?

Hi Mike,
Yes, if you start up WebKit it will look as though Safari is running,
except that things like VO-Shift-M on Web page links will bring up the
contextual menu and other such fixes. You really are running Safari, but
the underlying engine powering it has some fixes. On the slightly
negative side (for me), the access keys for the Mail Archive site for
this list at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
don't work under WebKit right now, so I can't use Control-I to shift the
list of posts to a set of links indexed by date, and Control-C to shift
the listing back to links ordered by content into threads. (Or navigate
through threads to read the next post with Control-n and the previous
post with Control-p; or use the analogous commands of Control- f and
Control-b to move forwards or back by date). This went away in
September, but the fix will appear in an upcoming WebKit build. Until
then, I fire up Safari to read and search the Mailing List archives for
this list, but use WebKit for most everything else web-related.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi everyone. I decided to give the latest nightly build of web kit a
try, one thing I noticed, when running the webkit application, it shows
as safari, and even calls itself safari 3.1, is safari still loading but
using the newer web kit engine instead? So far, it's working really
well.
