= Contributing to the Qt Port of WebKit =

[http://www.staikos.net/ Staikos Computing Services Inc] is hosting a  [http://code.staikos.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=webkit;a=summary public git repository] of the QtWebKit port.

[wiki:"QtWebKitTodo" TODO List]

== Reporting Bugs ==

Bug report submissions should be submitted to the [http://webkit.org/new-bug webkit bugzilla] using the 'WebKit Qt' product according to the standard [http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html reporting guidelines].

== Checking out the sources ==
Developers who wish to contribute to the port can check out the sources like so

{{{
git clone git://code.staikos.net/webkit
}}}

== Information on Git for QtWebKit developers ==

 * [http://ktown.kde.org/~zrusin/git/git-cheat-sheet-medium.png A Git cheat sheet]
 * [http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/ An excellent article on Git for computer scientists]

== 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 git repository mirror the branches in the [http://webkit.org/building/checkout.html upstream public webkit svn repository].  Patches that land on a branch in the git repository are not automatically pushed to the svn repository.  Patches intended for the svn repository must first be reviewed and then committed by developers with [http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html sufficient privileges].

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

To obtain check in privileges to the git repository the contributor should send a public ssh key to the [mailto:webkit-admin@staikos.net administrator] of the repository.
