Contributing to webkit is not a fun and exciting process at the
moment.
There's already a git mirror of webkit trunk, and there's nothing
stopping you from having a public facing version of your own git
repository, but having a lax commit policy will just make life
complicated in the long term -- say you work for many months off
trunk, sure git will allow you to track trunk effectively, but when
it comes to final commit time it will make reviewing the patch much
harder as the entire patch will have to be reviewed at once...
As far as I was aware most large OSS projects had similar review
requirements, so i'm not entirely sure how the WebKit project differs

Hey guys,
There's a lot of mobile WebKit expertise in different
organisations and
from various individuals, but we haven't really done much to put
it all
in one place so far.
Would you be interested in sharing your findings, internal
documentation
and patches?
Some things I'd like to see:
* Build fixes for various lightweight toolchains integrated into
TOT
* Documentation of optional defines used in the WebCore loader and
elsewhere, like LOW_BANDWIDTH_DISPLAY and MOBILE
* Build instructions made public (Scratchbox, cross-compilation
etc.)
* Compiler flags
* Bug workarounds for different architectures and toolchains
I'd love to see what Naiem's team is finding and fixing in the GTK+
port, what tweaks the iPhone and Android engineers are using, and the
lightweight libc fixes from Peter, and Collabora's findings on the
Nokia
internet tablets all in one place.
When patches get merged, the WebKit team will help you maintain
them so
contributing code can help reduce the burden of maintaining ports and
build fixes out-of-tree.
I have some material I've built up privately in the last year on ARM
including benchmarks and patches that I'd like to start sharing too.
I do think we can get more done if we work together here. I've set
up a
wiki page -- please edit this with your findings and suggestions:
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/Mobile
You can register an account on the wiki here:
