Hi epiphany-list, As far as I can see, Epiphany/WebKit currently has a good chance to make it into GNOME 2.28.
This however will break most (if not all?) existing extensions. I see this as a great opportunity to officially switch the extensions system to SEED. Writing browser extensions in JS seems to be a natural thing to do. SEED seems to be well supported and nice to work with. It is also currently proposed to be included in the platform¹, and other modules will also make use of it. Delaying the switch to SEED would mean that many popular C/Python extensions would (have to) be ported to Epiphany/WebKit for or shortly after 2.28. Introducing SEED for 2.30 would then result in a useless duplication of work. The only thing I am concerned about is the stability of the SEED API in the near future, maybe one of the developers could comment on this? Currently SEED master seems to work fine with Epiphany master, but will the be any more breakage before GNOME 2.28?
