Hi, With the new release out of the door I think it is time to give this item some attention again.
Since it seams to be low interest/need of an SDK or hardware campaign right now, then it may be a good idea to explore other options. I have been thinking about a WebKit2 GTK+/Epiphany campaign that aims to rise founds to the WebKit2 GTK+ port and the official GNOME browser, Web (also known as Epiphany) [1]. The WebKit2 GKT+/Epiphany situation are in many similar to the state of a11y was (and to some degree are) many non-trivial bugs that needs to be addressed and missing key features. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=WebKit2 https://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/Roadmap/3.8?highlight=%28Webkit2%29|%28bugs%29|%28gnome%29 Since more and more GNOME applications and components are reallying on WebKit it is of increasingly importance and in interest of all GNOME users that there exists a stable implementation of WebKit2 GKT+ [2]. It is of course possible to question the idea of start a fundraising drive in part to raise funds to a browser since most GNOME users are probably using Firefox or Chromium. But if we want to have a coherent GNOME experience with a set of native GTK+ apps that people use, a first class browser are of critically importance, not the least from a marketing point of view. Not to mention the fact that Mozilla to a large extent are focused on other platforms. It is indeed hard to find something that is more relevant today then good support/implementation of the web. I have been in contact with key people involved in the WebKit2 GTK+/Epiphany effort and this is something they are interested in doing. If there is interest in this we could make a formal proposal and present it to the board. 1. https://live.gnome.org/WebKitGtk 2. http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/ApplicationsGtk -- -mvh Oliver Propst -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
