Very nice work on the Whiteboard page! I would like to propose to remove 
the WebKit idea for the time being. If we wanted to drop Firefox, update 
and finish WebKit and build a capable browser on top of it, that would 
seriously hold everything up. Therefor I think this idea was just too 
immature for even including in the list. Obviously I mean no disrespect for 
Ryan's work, but come purely from a "what would hold up the release too 
much" perspective.

Best regards,
