So, several of us:
Havoc,
Nat,
Ettore,
Mikael,
Jonathan,
Anders
Had a discussion about HTML rendering in Gnome 2.0 and beyond; in the
light of Radek's recent port of GtkHTML to Gnome 2.0.
We agreed:
GtkHTML1 GtkHTML2
editable not editable
actively maintained not maintained
no CSS / DOM CSS / DOM
in-accessible accessible
* We agreed that adding editing was the most difficult part of
making GtkHTML1 fly, and that adding it to GtkHTML2 is
extremely non-trivial.
* We agreed that GtkHTML2 is far more pleasant as a code base.
* It was pointed out that editing is crucial for evolution, and
thus Ximian has to port GtkHTML1 instead of using GtkHTML2 -
and subsequently has to maintain it indefinitely.
* We noticed the strange version numbering / namespacing issue
between GtkHTML1 and GtkHTML2 and GtkHTML1 ported to Gnome 2.0
and they both use the 'gtk_html_' namespace.
As a way ahead we decided that probably the best approach is:
* stick with what we have for Gnome 2.0
* move gtkHTML2 to be 'hidden' inside 'yelp'
* make GtkHTML1 (ported) accessible.
* plan to switch yelp to use GtkHTML1 (ported) in Gnome 2.X.X
* as we move ahead use GtkHTML1 and / or Mozilla as neccessary
* try and resolve the naming problem - both for symbols and
projects as a whole.
