[webkit-qt] Minutes from the Status Meeting in #qtwebkit on Freenode IRC network

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

I don't believe WebGL will take over 2D canvas. It's for different use
cases and it is a lot more easy to get started with.

Btw this one seems to be using both (from my quick quick look at the
code):  http://bejeweled.popcap.com/html5/0.9.12.9490/html5/Bejeweled.html
