I wish they would be more flexible with their secrecy. The open-source pieces of Apple (the CLI-stuff in OS X, Safari, etc) would gain much by being less secretive.

- dak1 10y agoWebKit, which is the heart of Safari, is open source: http://webkit.org http://webkit.org I've been tracking many of these issues on the WebKit bug tracker: https://bug.webkit.org https://bug.webkit.org For example: https://bug.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80559 https://bug.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80559 (Bug 80559 - [ES6] Add support for ES6 Harmony). The release notes linked to also links to the public commit that implemented each noted fix/update/new feature.
- sandstrom 10y agoI know much of it is open source (darwin is, too). It's just that they don't engage much and it doesn't feel prioritized. Take this website for example: http://opensource.apple.com/ http://opensource.apple.com/ The design feels like it's from the early 2000. There is almost no documentation besides the raw data/files.
