If you wish to participate in the WebKit Mac OS Open source project, you need to get the WebKit source code, build the WebKit using these codes, and contribute your own. To get the code you are required the Subversion tool and do several steps such as: opening the terminal application and typing the following: svn checkout svn://anonsvn.opensource.apple.com/svn/webkit/trunk WebKit. The source code will then appear in your system and you can start
building the code.
The code for WebKit building goes as follows: WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit. Since WebKit runs on
Safari browser, Dashboard and Mail.app (along with other Mac OS X applications), you can run Safari using the following script: WebKitTools/Scripts/run-safari. You can
start downloading or submitting a WebKit patch via the Open Darwin Organization's site at http://webkit.opendarwin.org/.
Let's say you've created the source code and built one in your system. It's time for you to contribute your codes in the WebKit project. To do so, you need only to submit a patch file of your version and the WebKit's own. When you have done so, WebKit reviewers will check out your file and you will be informed whether your patch is approved or not.
