Hi, I'm a computing science student who's been a long-time user of the Webkit nightly builds, and since Webkit has joined GSoC this year, I'm really interested in doing a project with it. I have a decent knowledge of C (I've coded a few small web servers that implemented a minimal subset of HTTP 1.1), and as my friends can attest, a fanatical supporter of Webkit in general. I was intrigued in the DHTML and ARIA UI projects because they're personally interesting to me, and the SVG compliance bugs. For the former, links to bug pages and the Mozilla docs were provided, but I was wondering if there was any additional information. I'm still picking my way through the bugs linked on that page, so if said information is found there, I apologize for not getting there yet.
Also, I was wondering whether someone with my background (ie. 2-3 years of C with ~3 years of undergrad comp sci experience, no experience with contributing to the Webkit project as of yet) could become sufficiently familiar with the areas of the codebase necessary to work on the DHTML/ARIA and/or SVG projects. Am I going to be completely out of my league? Will be youthful naivity be painfully crushed by the monolithic reality of the abyss that is SVG? Inquiring mind(s) wish to know. Thanks! -james l _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
