| [dsdp-pmc] yet another blinki-webkit4swt follow up |
|
I received a private note asking me, so what does
this "externally hosted webkit4swt thingie mean and what's blinki"?
WebKit4SWT hosting plan:
1. a public read-only GIT
repository
2. blinki project committers will have
write/merge privileges
3. code will be current EPL/LGPL
split
4. other upcoming blinki code contributions
will be hosted at eclipse as EPL
-- blinki will use a P2
dependency/assembly model to include the webkit4swt framework (we will be
looking for guidance from our mentors and PMC to get this
approach right)
Blinki status:
1. webkit4swt is a fundamental building block
for a first effort towards the blinki mobile web devkit support
-- internal circumstances have
delayed release up to this time and now we are moving forward
2. the blinki project outlines tool frameworks
for emulation/preview and debugging
-- with webkit being the darling
of mobile web browsers atm we plan to kick off tool framework development on top
of webkit4swt
3. blinki also has a big interest in mobile
web UI and application frameworks
-- there has been a lot of work
in this area outside the Eclipse space and we look to integrate and enhance that
work to fit into the Eclipse community's needs
4. the upcoming Pulsar mobile web roadmap being
developed will very likely overlap with some of the blinki objectives. We will
work with that group and the other DSDP projects to create mutual
success.
