Dirk Schulze is now a WebKit reviewer!
Posted by Gustavo Noronha on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 at 10:31 amDirk Schulze, also known as krit has done a great work on the cairo graphics context implementation, and is also the main developer behind the SVG filters implementation, which is hopefully nearing its debut, making WebKit fully implement SVG 1.1, and making it possible to represent many of the more complex features of painting in cairo-based ports.
Join me in congratulating Dirk on his reviewer status!

Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about Dirk’s work to provide a good enough welcome (unfortunately, I barely follow a bunch of bugs in the bug tracker).
Nevertheless, implementing filters is something that *does* deserve a lot of respect!
I know (very) little on the subject and yet, while learning about it, sometimes I just wondered about how hard would it be to implement some of the subtle/tricky things in the spec. [1] (which is aimed at users, therefore obfuscating most of involved complexity)… Congratulations!
