Apple Releases WebKit
rohanl writes "Apple has responded to recent criticisms from the KHTML developers by providing a live CVS repository (including all history) of WebCore, JavaScriptCore and the newly open sourced WebKit, public mailing list, irc channel and bug database. Details at the new webkit.opendarwin.org"
Hey Taco, better change the Apple section's "G5" logo to the Intel logo.
Trolling is a art,
I guess after switching to x86, Apple felt it needed to do something not-evil to balance things out.
They're going to complain about the code being PPC-centric... no, wait... damn...

Now if only they changed the name to WebKore and JavaScriptKore, they'd be best buddies.
Want to improve your Karma? Instead of "Post Anonymously", try the "Post Humously" option.
Exactly. I'm sure Steve sensed you weren't happy and he made the WebKit developers stay up all night to get this together.
If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
And since when is denying one form of determinism considered "taking determinism to its extreme"?
Man is a slave because freedom is difficult, whereas slavery is easy.
The "preferred form" of most Apple developers is probably some versioning system running as a client on G5 workstations, so obviously Apple is legally obligated to provide the changed source code to KHTML developers in that form. Go sign on to the KHTML project now and your free G5 will be shipped soon!
You mean there is nothing to complain about now? Wait, what about that Intel thing? They can't get off the hook that easy!
I know this is off-topic, but your signature is wrong. Getting modded funny does not increase karma anymore.
Actually, they simply also clicked the "release as OpenSource" checkbox, and stayed up all night partying.

To the guy who modded me down from perfect to terrible Karma - Apple haters still suck
In other news, Apple has been bought and is now operated by every troll that ever bitched about Apple on slashdot.
Don't blame me, I voted for Baltar.
They spend all this time asking Apple to open up, then they respond by putting WebKit on a CVS server instead of a Subversion one.
Sure they would have known it was a problem -- I sent them a feedback email a few days ago asking them to work more closely with the KHTML devs. (And I'm not an involved party other than the fact that I use both Mac and Linux PCs.) Obviously, they listened to what I had to say, and all this has come about thanks to me!
You're welcome. ; )
Anyway, the point is that more people care about this than just the KHTML people -- Apple's doing it to appease the whole of Slashdot, at least.
