[webkit-dev] Implement threaded model of Coordinated Graphics

[Jae Hyun Park]

Hi, webkit folks.

As we've already notified, we are currently working on implementing
Threaded Coordinated Graphics in WebKit2 Gtk+.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100341

But, to reuse existing Coordinated Graphics code, we have decided to
implement Threaded Coordinated Graphics in WebKit1 Qt first.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102994
Then, we will apply Threaded Coordinated Graphics to WebKit1 Gtk+ and
WebKit2 Gtk+.

Our design document for implementing Threaded Coordinated Graphics in
WebKit1 Qt is in the link below.
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1u1Oif9lDmVt_MkJLxaEYbTlOuZWVJcKrM1vAxAvFrZk

Any comments/concerns are appreciated.

Best regards,
Jae Hyun Park
