Sure :)

eh eh..

Rekonq is a lightweight browser based on webkit and KDE technologies.
For me this are the the core concepts:
- lightweight
- webkit
- KDE technologies

Lightweight comes first because I'm quite sure that a browser HAS to be so.
I'm really "critic" (not sure this is right term..) with this 
plugins/extensions idea based on firefox (and Gecko) experience and 
implementation.
And I'm quite disappointed from current KDE plugin support implementation.
There are two main (core) problems: plugins has to be loaded at startup or 
when its action is exposed and (more important) a plugin crash let application 
crash.

Anyway, apart from technical reason, I never used more than two minutes a 
firefox extension and I'd like asking you all: what is the REAL advantage from 
this plugin support? What are the really useful plugins?

Webkit is rekonq rendering engine. I'm really impressed from webkit 
escalation. And from Webkit Qt API. I'm quite sure it's just a matter of time 
it will become "standard" open source web rendering engine. And prefix RE- in 
rekonq's name means just a re-thinking (KDE) web browsing aspects.

KDE technologies are widely used in rekonq. And rekonq will ever be a KDE 
product. There are dualism (eg: khtml vs webkit) but (for me) my ideas about 
are quite clear.

---------------

This first one is the general part. About the "develop" part, I think you just 
know my ideas.
rekonq 0.3: isolates tab processes and integrate kwallet. That's all!

I know about a guy working on KDE bookmarks re-implementation. I'm really 
interested about this because I'm really not happy about the current one. And 
we can work there to insert also rss feeds.

We surely need to follow KDE kio classes improvements in Qt history/cookies 
classes improvements and so on.

All other ideas come from you (plural). We can debate each idea here. Sounds 
good?
