Maybe it is time to introduce systematic code review? That could help to spread the knowledge about the code base, help to reduce the regressions, and two people are able to fix regressions instead of one.

Rekonq is not really a toy project anymore, and I feel it could benefit from reviews.

Actually, I am gonna backpedal a little on this one when it comes to OpenGL.

Two reasons for that:
1) a bug in the graphics system opengl preventing correct repaint of Canvas. It will be fixed in 4.7.1.
2) some inconsistent behavior with hardware acceleration. Which will require (1) more benchmarking from me, (2) a backbuffer using raster for non-accelerated content. We are actually looking into that as well for MeeGo, so hopefully a solution will come from there.

Appart from OpenGL support, it could still be interesting to move to GraphicsWebView without OpenGL at first. I can help prototyping that.

cheers,
Benjamin
