How can I help out?

Checkout the source code, build WebKit from trunk and test it. Report bugs at the bug tracker, look for existing WebKitGTK+ bugs.

Mailing Lists

Developing

For a good starting point see the Hacker's guide to WebKitGTK+.

After fetching the sources you can build WebKitGTK+ from the source tree like this:

mkdir WebKitBuild
cd WebKitBuild
../autogen.sh
make

The build is pretty much a normal autotools build, so you can look at configure --help for build options or spefify --prefix=/usr.

Have a look at the Coding Style used in WebKit.

Testing

Run regression tests:

WebKitBuild/Programs/DumpRenderTree

WebKitBuild/Programs/UnitTests

WebKitBuild/Programs/GtkLauncher
