Hi there, I think there is a great stuff missing in efls, it's a web rendering engine. The main purpose would be to have a full-efl based web browser. But also have some web rendering inside Evas/Edje based apps. This could really be awsome.
I started to search how to have such capability and there are not many options. The first one could be to write our own, from scratch. This would probably be a huge task to do. I don't think it's the way. The second idea is to use Webkit as the web engine. It seems to be a good engine with great performance, compatibility and standards compliance. My idea would be to write an Evas smart object which will do the rendering stuff using webkit and expose some nice functions to the user like load_url(), reload_page(), ... The rendering process will use Evas. I check a little the webkit code, ans it seems like it could be done. Perhaps some rendering part would need some Evas modifications, I don't know yet. But it should not be impossible to do. Having all of that right into a new library (e_web?) could reallly be a great improvement to Efl's power.
