Re: [webkit-dev] Updating the tradition for new reviewer blog posts
So what is the process then if you have a blog ready to post? Just get one person to review?

I'd be happy to write more posts for Surfin' Safari, but I don't know if I need approval, etc. Adam On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 1:31 PM, Eric Seidel e...@webkit.org wrote: Woh.

Re: [webkit-dev] Updating the tradition for new reviewer blog posts
I think that it would be awesome as well. There is so much content to be blogged by the community. For example, I have myself two nice subjects of WebCore stuff I've been involved with: - rect based hit testing; - spatial navigation. Would be more than happy to get the contents of two posts published in Surfing Safari. ps: Maybe having reviewers feed in planet.webkit.org would be also a good idea.
