Re: [webkit-dev] Opera and WebKit
Welcome to the WebKit community! Opera has a long and impressive history of pushing the Web platform forward. I look forward to working together to advance the Web; I think it's a great opportunity for all of us.

Re: [webkit-dev] Opera and WebKit
Very mixed feelings. Presto is a great engine. It is really hard to loose a browser engine such as Presto from a lot of perspectives. My tributes to Presto, an awesome competitor in the browser market, and the developers of Presto. Thanks for the announcement on the WebKit-dev mailing list. Opera is very welcome to the WebKit community. Lets take some steps into the future of the web together.

Dear WebKit community, Many of us have met through various web standards efforts, such as W3C and WHAT WG. Today I'd like to introduce Opera Software in a new forum for us: the webkit-dev mailing list. We have known WebKit and its KTHML predecessor for some time. Lars Knoll, who (re)wrote KHTML in 1999, worked for TrollTech for many years. TrollTech and Opera shared a building in Oslo, a building which has earned its place in the rendering engine hall of fame. Some of our best programmers have been working on the WebKit code for a while, and today we have announced that we will be using the WebKit engine in the future [1]. We will also submit our code; switching from Presto to WebKit frees up resources and allows us to contribute to the WebKit platform. The first contributions from our side will be in multi-column layout [2]. We have experimented with combining multicol layout with page floats and column spans [3]; in 10 lines of CSS code one can create amazingly beautiful, scaleable and responsive paged presentations [4]. We hope to work with you to further strengthen the open web that we all believe in.
