WebKit Bounty

[Jesse Ross]

There has been a lot of discussion as of late about getting a well- 
integrated web browser/web view working in GNUstep. That's been a  
desire of mine for the past few years, and, even with the  
availability of Apple's WebKit and the release of GCC 4.1 with  
support for Objective-C++, we still don't have a working solution.  
So, here is my proposal:

I would like to start a bounty for the port of WebKit to GNUstep. In  
order to receive the bounty, the following requirements must be met:

 - The port should use the latest code (as of 2006.02.28) from the  
WebKit Subversion repository as located at http://webkit.org/
 - All patches must be submitted back to the original codebase. We  
would like to avoid a fork by getting GNUstep support in WebKit proper.
 - Along with the port of WebKit itself, the potential bounty  
recipient must also include a GORM palette for embedding web views in  
GNUstep applications.

Upon completion of the above items and a code review by selected  
third-party developers, the bounty will be disbursed within 60 days  
after code delivery. The amount of the bounty is $500 USD -- if  
others would like to offset some of my personal cost, or contribute  
to the bounty, please contact me and I will coordinate the transactions.


Good luck and thanks in advance to all who participate!
