Open Source WebKit

When one door closes, another ope , as they say. Dave Hyatt has a ounced http://webkit.opendarwin.org, the WebKit Open source Project. A arently, A le has finally decided to fork from the KHTML project and start their own development branch. The new development site contai the CVS for WebCore and JavaScriptCore--the open source khtml and kjs derivatives, and also the newly open sourced WebKit itself, the Objective-C WebCore API that A le web a are built on. Patches have already been submitted.

The timing certanily hel alleviate some of the "A le is turning to the dark side" fears. I can't say that it worked completely, but kudos to A le for reaffirming their commitment to the open source community.
