Sorry, found the link in the comment above, and the Python API is featured in the slides. Next time I’ll read before posting. Shame on me

Very interesting! I just spent a few days working on a hybrid PyGTK/gtkmozembed maemo application, and having a lighter engine with a more powerful API would definitely make a lot of sense.

I see that this is also posted in maemo category - can you give me some hints or links about where to get or how to build webkit for maemo?

Also, are there any plans for python bindings yet?

Alp, I wasn’t really asking for you to distribute binaries as such, just a link to the binary you have been using for the tests. Looking forward to seeing the details of the SunSpider test. Will you put a link on your blog to them?

[...] which is great, and if webkit can provide a better platform for renderer embedding, that holds out the prospect of more innovation at the platform level. But right now I’m primarily interested in what value can be built above that rendering [...]

Screw pidgin, Empathy is the way to go for webkit chat themes. Empathy/telepathy is the future of messaging on Linux after all

Diego: The images really are done in oo.o It’s just a matter of flipping and playing with the alpha.

Christian: Sure, I can do (1) and (2) though we don’t yet distribute binaries. It’s up to developers to build their own and see for themselves really, this is just a community project without lots of bandwidth and distribution channels for every platform and architecture.

fr: Working on it. Until then, you can set up a build environment in Scratchbox using http://www.atoker.com/webkit-maemo/

Any news on when/where we can download a build for maemo?

I think in all fairness you need to do the following when stating performance claims (disclosure: I work for Mozilla):

1) post the actual results from the Maemo SunSpider tests
2) what version of MicroB/OS was being used
3) a link to the WebKit binary used for the test including what compile switches, settings, etc. that were used

Great presentation, so bad I couldn’t attend!
I join the crowd asking if you generated the shiny images inside or outside Impress. Nice slides!.

On useful topics, let’s see if I can get back to producing patches… hope this time they are not half-broken :P.
