# Some other GTK WebKit browser. They would have to be sugarized.

Both of these would only provide WebKit for Browse. Other activities that need a browser GTK widget, like [http://www.socialtext.net/socialcalcxo/index.cgi SocialCalc] would have to recycle Browse source, which is less than optimal.

* How about XUL extensions?
Hulahop can load some Firefox extensions right now, and this ability would be lost for the Webkit version. However, it's not that big a problem because 1) many XUL extensions target the Firefox chrome, which does not exist in Browse and 2) [http://userscripts.org/ userscripts] (GreaseMonkey) are lighter-weight extensions that work in many browsers (GreaseMonkey for Firefox, GreaseKit for Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc.). Although userscripts do not have the same access to browser and native APIs as XUL extensions, they are still very capable. [http://softwareas.com/for-browser-extensions-grease-is-the-word Some] even envision userscripts getting APIs to supplement some of the capabilities they are lacking.
* What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.
