* WebKitGtk's (glib based) main loop is merged with libev's main loop in NodeJS (Thanks to the code from node-gtk and EV::Glib project), so they can run in the same process.

* WebKit is patched so we can switch the Javascript engine from jsc to V8, and then the V8 context is merged (actually bridged) with the context from NodeJS. This makes NodeJS functions accessiable in web page. (Thanks to Nayan Kumar for the webkit-v8 work)

We believe that the async I/O framework in NodeJS and the Javascript programming language is a perfect combination for client (mobile) side applications. By bringing WebKit to NodeJS, a new way is avaliable to write applications with web technology. We'll contintue our development and support for this runtime. More platform and applications will be enabled.
