Stuff I’m working on

Since I don’t get paid to hack on Webkit (sadly), I can only contribute in my spare time.

However, I do have some short and long term personal goals for WebKit:

Get the threading patches to Qt integrated. For the most part, its ready: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15940
Getting NPAPI plugins working in Qt/Windows
Potentially adding audio/video support
Drawing issues in Qt/Windows. Some examples: http://www.neowin.net, any website with effects on rollover, etc…

Updated uber-patch. I’ll be splitting parts of this patch up that are separate from plugins

I got it to work! It’s just a proof of concept right now, and I’ll clean it up later.

The patch does several things that are needed:

Makes sure the database stuff is protected
Hacks in support for the Windows plugins (this needs to be done in a cleaner way)
Implement UTF-8 to UTF-16 text encoding using Qt 4
