Applications based on...

I'm not sure "based on" is the right term here. "Based on" means "founded on," which seems a misue of the term here. Would anyone object to renaming the section to Applications using WebCore? --Steven Fisher 06:24, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. BTW Do we know for sure that the applications listed here use WebCore as opposed to WebKit? AlistairMcMillan 15:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think we do. I was thinking of adding a note to the end of the paragraph saying something to the effect of "In addition to these applications, other applications use WebCore indirectly by using WebKit." WebKit would be a link, even though it would be the second WebKit link in the article. Not a big deal. I hesitated to do this yesterday, though, because for some reason I was in a "fret over wording" mode. I think I'll just take a swing at it now, and if people don't like it they can edit it.

Maybe "...other applications use WebCore as part of WebKit."? AlistairMcMillan 16:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I like it. Done. Steven Fisher 17:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging with WebKit article

I suggest merging most of the content in this article with WebKit. WebCore is an implementation detail of WebKit, and since the launch of the WebKit Open Source project the rendering engine is almost universally referred to as WebKit. This is somewhat confusing since WebKit is both a specific piece of code that compiles to WebKit.framework, and the umbrella name for the WebKit engine as a whole, including WebCore. Also, all of the applications listed here as "using WebCore" actually use WebKit - none of them uses WebCore directly as far as I know. User:MaciejStachowiak.
