== Note ==
This document is largely outdated as most, if not all, of the ideas represented here have been accomplished by the project as a whole.  The ideas reflect some of the steps we've since taken to make the WebKit Open Source Project more supportive of the multiple organizations and ports that are now contributing.

== Project Vision ==

This page describes some of the ideas we (as in the Qt WebKit team) have for the WebKit project as a whole.

We would like the WebKit community to be a strong and positive group of people that works together towards the common [http://webkit.org/projects/goals.html project goals]. We believe that all of the ideas we list underneath will help further these goals.

=== Commit and review rights ===

 * What is the algorithm to obtain commit and review rights? The community should have a say in this. 
 * The same policy should apply for every possible contributor.
 * There should be platform maintainers who have the right to decide on commit and review rights for the platform specific parts of the code.
 * Platform maintainers need to have decision rights about the platform specific code (e.g. which kind of patches go in, which don't)

=== Project planning ===

Project planning should become more transparent. The mailing list should be used for larger discussions or decisions that affect all platforms, to give all involved parties a chance to comment.

 * Platforms need to have an idea of when to expect the next stable WebKit version.
 * We believe there are should be common releases for WebKit
 * A release can simply consist of a branch
 * The core engine should be in a stable state for a release branch
 * Releases should have a well defined WebKit version number
 * Releases should be time based 
 * Release schedules and a (loosely defined) roadmap should be discussed and agreed upon inside the community.

=== Web site ===

The WebKit project page should reflect contributing organizations in an equal fashion.

 * The webkit.org/blog should aggregate the blogs of all contributors (Surfin' Safari and blogs of external contributors)
 * The main webpage and the navigation bar should be platform agnostic
 * Safari specific things should go in a subpage (with a prominent link form the main page)
 * A free use WebKit logo would be great to have
