[dsdp-pmc] yet another blinki-webkit4swt follow up

I received a private note asking me, so what does this "externally hosted webkit4swt thingie mean and what's blinki"?
 
WebKit4SWT hosting plan:
1. a public read-only GIT repository
2. blinki project committers will have write/merge privileges
3. code will be current EPL/LGPL split
4. other upcoming blinki code contributions will be hosted at eclipse as EPL
    -- blinki will use a P2 dependency/assembly model to include the webkit4swt framework (we will be looking for guidance from our mentors and PMC to get this approach right)
 
Blinki status:
1. webkit4swt is a fundamental building block for a first effort towards the blinki mobile web devkit support
    -- internal circumstances have delayed release up to this time and now we are moving forward
2. the blinki project outlines tool frameworks for emulation/preview and debugging
    -- with webkit being the darling of mobile web browsers atm we plan to kick off tool framework development on top of webkit4swt
3. blinki also has a big interest in mobile web UI and application frameworks
    -- there has been a lot of work in this area outside the Eclipse space and we look to integrate and enhance that work to fit into the Eclipse community's needs
4. the upcoming Pulsar mobile web roadmap being developed will very likely overlap with some of the blinki objectives. We will work with that group and the other DSDP projects to create mutual success.
