Hello, Yes, my organization is more familiar with QT-WebKit side, but I do have some contacts on S60 WebKit people and have digged out some info regarding S60WebKit. And I can comment on Jack's complaint that Nokia IS aware of current problems of the S60WebKit port, and there is actions started to rectify the situation on S60WebKit port.
1. I know that updated version of the S60WebKit port will be released after the phone which uses newer version of the WebKit is released, this will happen in this year. 2&3. Will be corrected at the same time, and S60WebKit team will have couple fulltime people maintaining released code line for the community. 4&5. As I'm not member of S60WebKit team, I cannot officially communicate that much on behalf of their team because I don't have that clear picture of S60 side activities, but hopefully this email atleast clears some of the rumours and misinformation that might be going around. But I can say that we are aware of the situation, and hopefully you will see better support in the future.
