QtWebKit Contributor Meeting 2012

Monday, February 13th to Friday, February 17th at the IH Event Center in Szeged, Hungary.

About the meeting

Nokia in cooperation with the University of Szeged will be hosting the first open QtWebKit Contributor Meeting. The event will take place from Monday, February 13 to Friday, February 17 at the IH Event Center in Szeged, Hungary, which is right next to the Novotel Szeged Hotel where the Nokia employees will be staying.

This meeting is for contributors to the Qt port of the WebKit Open Source Project. The event will have an "unconference"-like format similar to that of the yearly WebKit Contributor Meeting, allowing plenty of time for impromptu sessions/discussions, socializing and hacking.

The meeting itself, including refreshments, will be free of charge. All active QtWebKit contributors are welcome to attend. However, space is limited, so registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in joining please contact Christian Sejersen (christian.sejersen@nokia.com) as soon as possible.

Viewport Issues

The below list contains issues that were raised during the first viewport-related session. They need to be investigated and tested before bugs are actually opened. Kenneth will be more than glad to elaborate a bit more on any of these topics.

• Show the same thing in the width when orientating (which can

be restricted)

• Orientation with restriction (gmail) show checkerboards (landscape to portrait? center?)
• Finger on screen do not rotate
• Rotation testing on desktop
• Vkb visible scale to 2.0 (with restrictions)
• Pinch bounce back ignore pan, orientation etc etc
• Tap to zoom
• Tap on input fields (fitting-in-view/not-fitting tests)
• Bounce back from pan (click will make it jump back immediately!)
• Pan out of view, pans to half the screen (doesnt follow finger 100%)
• Fit to view (when? how?)
• Even when pinch is disabled do minimal pinch back animation (when not running as standalone web app)
• When fitting in view, allow minimal vertical scrolling
• Tap to zoom + text size adjust
• media query : orientation
• Pixel ratio graphics 1 to 1
• Session history + orientation! (zoom level? position?)
• Suspension
