[webkit-dev] Issues with Workers

[Chris Campbell]

Hi Tali,

Regarding event.data, there is a chromium issue filed for this here:
http://crbug.com/21299

And a recent architectural discussion on this mailing list:
https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2009-September/009882.html

I haven't been able to make any progress on it lately due to being
sidetracked with other tasks, but I do hope to get back to it...

--Chris
