WebKit Inspector getting some attention from Google’s Summer of Code

Just a quick piece of news today: assuming I’m reading this correctly, it looks like Webkit Inspector will be the beneficiary of some attention from a student by the name of Keishi Hattori as part of Google’s Summer of Code. Keishi will be “implementing Firebug API and a JavaScript profiler into WebKit,” moving WebKit Inspector ever closer to feature parity with Firebug.

It’s great to see pseudo-standards such as Firebug’s console and profiling APIs gain traction. That makes it much easier for users to get meaningful comparative data between browsers while testing their applications.
