[webkit-dev] EFL port?

Tue Feb 14 03:08:33 PST 2017

yes,

Sad, but as no big company is using the webkit-efl port at the time,
we have no (or few?) guys paid to hack on it full time.

My company is rather small, so we need backing customers to continue
our work... like the current patchset to come.

Not ideal, but if we could at least keep WebKit-EFL build bots and try
to keep them green would be of great help for smaller users like us.
