Hi , For those who were not at that session at the contributor meeting: some web developers have asked for a better way to follow what is being done in WebKit without having to follow every WebKit engineers on Twitter.
On our end, having more visibility on what is enabled in Nightly could help getting more feedback and bug reports. Google maintains a status page for the features enabled in chrome (https://www.chromestatus.com/features) and it seems to be useful. We could try doing something similar for WebKit. Since Webkit's engineering is distributed with all the ports and various prototypes, the idea would be to let every contributor maintain the status page. We would have JSON files in the tree describing features and their states, and webkit.org would pull that information from the repository to publish that in a nicer way. My current plan is to have 2 files, named "features.json", with the information about our features. The files would be in Source/JavaScriptCore/features.json and Source/WebCore/features.json. >From the feedback at the contributor meeting, I drafted the following format for the files: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/Feature%20Status I am still not sure how to best format the list of releases where a feature has shipped for the first time. In the draft, I used a list of strings with a custom format. Please have a look. Send me your feedback. If everyone still think it is a good idea in a week, I'll start working toward putting something like that in the tree.
