Linden Lab testet Webkit-Port von Drittanbieter Nuanti

Wie bereits berichtet, dient der LL-Browser uBrowser in Second Life zur Darstellung von Web-On-A-Prim. Linden Lab hat nun Nuanti beauftragt, deren Webkit-Port "Meta" zu Testzwecken in den Second Life-Viewer zu integrieren. Zur Demo wurde der uBrowser benutzt, der die gleiche Schnittstelle zum Viewer nutzt.

Rob Linden sagte dazu beim Open Source Meeting:

"We've been contracting with a third party (Nuanti) to prototype Webkit in our viewer. that's not a commitment to move to webkit, but just that we'd like to see some code to help inform a decision. Alp Toker at Nuanti just posted this.
I'm really glad Nuanti is taking the ball and running with it. even if we don't move to Webkit, it's nice to see someone agressively targetting this market.
ubrowser has an identical interface to the Second Life viewer, so there should be pretty minimal integration costs of the final output there."
