Contributing to the Qt Port of WebKit

​Staikos Computing Services Inc is hosting a ​public git repository of the QtWebKit port.

TODO List

Reporting Bugs

Obtaining Check-In Privileges

Contributors with a proven track record of good patch submissions and that have demonstrated an ability to work well with the community can obtain check-in privileges to the QtWebKit git repository.

The various branches of the QtWebKit git repository mirror the branches in the ​public webkit svn repository. Patches that land on a branch in the QtWebKit git repository are not automatically pushed to the public webkit svn repository. Patches intended for the upstream public webkit svn repository must first be reviewed and then committed by developers with ​sufficient privileges.

Patches that are not specific to the QtWebKit port of the webkit project should not be submitted to the QtWebKit git repository rather they should be contributed directly to the upstream public webkit svn repository.

To obtain check in privileges to the QtWebKit git repository the contributor should send a public ssh key to the ​administrator of the repository.
