GNOME Goal: Port all users of Webkit to Webkit2

Guidelines

Webkit is moving to a separate rendering process model - this change affects the API, and applications using Webkit will have to be ported to this new model.

A module is affected by this goal if it links against libwebkitgtk.

To complete this goal, port your application to Webkit2. Marcos Chavarría Teijeiro has started a tutorial for Webkit2 porting.

To verify that your port is complete, you can check with ldd that your application links against libwebkit2gtk-4.0, but no longer against libwebkitgtk-3.0.

TBD: More detail needed.

Status of this goal

Tip: If you choose to work on a module, create the bug report on the GNOME bugzilla for the relevant module, and make it block bug <<insert here a link to the tracker bug>>. This way people will know someone already works on it, and won't duplicate the work you're doing.
