[webkit-dev] GSoC question

[Eric Seidel]

James,

Glad to see you interested in WebKit GSoC.  My primary suggestion
would be that you join #webkit and meet the team.  From there we can
help you find areas of interest to you which should be doable by
someone of your experaince in the GSoC timeframe.
