anthony, my second reaction: this is absolutely superb news [that
you're working on the gobject bindings].

the reason for that is that, thanks to the background that you have in
pyjd you have a comprehensive understanding of what's involved, and
you appreciate that it's not "bullshit" that *all* DOM functionality
is required, function-for-function, property-for-property,
bug-for-bug.  if on the remote chance that you _don't_ appreciate
this, you will soon enough find out why.

from the webkit-gtk project's perspective, the fact that pyjd can be
used to put some real teeth behind the gobject bindings means that the
webkit-gtk project actually stands a chance of becoming something
useful, useable and stable.  in other words, it'll give the webkit-gtk
gobject bindings a real thorough workout.  it's simply not possible to
have even one function or property out of several thousand, either
missing, non-functional, awkward to use or worse unstable.

i'll leave it in your capable hands, and also i'll notify the
sugar-devel mailing list that you're involved and on the case, because
i just wrote, only a few days ago, an assessment of the situation
which, not knowing that you were involved, concluded that the best
thing that the OLPC team could do is to *revert* the decision to
replace hulahop with webkit-gtk.

now that i know that you're involved, and because you have such a
comprehensive understanding of pyjd, i have confidence that you can
work with the webkit-gtk team to stabilise the bindings and undo the
damage done by mark rowe to the webkit-gtk project's long-term
usefulness.
