[webkit-dev] Updating the tradition for new reviewer blog posts

[Antonio Gomes (:tonikitoo)]

I think that it would be awesome as well. There is so much content to
be blogged by the community. For example, I have myself two nice
subjects of WebCore stuff I've been involved with:

- rect based hit testing;
- spatial navigation.

Would be more than happy to get the contents of two posts published in
Surfing Safari.

ps: Maybe having reviewers feed in planet.webkit.org would be also a good idea.
