I hope so too. I'm deeply impressed by your detailed changelog and by
the changes. A few of the changes have already happened in "our" developing
version and many of them were on our TODOs. For example just about this
weekend I was working on improving the kjs garbage collector and now I read
that you apparently already fixed the issues I had with it. Seems to me like
a huge christmas gift. Thank you. Thanks a lot.
Especially I'd like to hope that we could set up a mailing list where we
could exchange ideas, patches and bug reports. Also a common testsuite for
regressions would be nice and probably help us a lot in developing KHTML and
KJS further. Ideally the plan should be, and I hope you agree, to use a
common codebase for the backend.

We've forwarded it to kfm-devel@kde.org.

Have some nice time there and greetings from Germany, I just watched the
Safari presentation :-)
