Future of Vala-based Midori #472

You know, webkit2 plus Vala is not even a slightly bad idea. I've been fixing the little things which bother me, and it's a remarkably small build environment (since all the big web engine stuff lives behind webkit's API's). Rebuildilng from scratch is < 10s on my little i7 desktop at -j4. There really should be a community around this little gem.

We are working on Midori unfortunately for the moment this version has been discontinued but Midori is still alive.

Thank you for your comment, however this version has been discontinued by you. It is working quite excellently, leveraging the wonderful Webkit2GTK project. It is the most malleable, approachable browser source code base I've found yet.
