CEF & Cordova?

My project requires a webkit browser. Does anyone have experience
adding Cordova support to Chromium Embedded Framework?

Ripple is fine for development. Not so much for office users.

You can always use Ripple.

Github.com/blackberry/ripple-ui

Install it via npm:

Npm install ripple -g
From developer.blackberry.com
Or
From the chrome App Store

We have both Windows 8 [1] and OS X [2] codebases. The Windows stuff
is pretty mature. The OS X could use your help!

CEF is pretty great too.

Yes. Specifically Windows 7 as Win8 isn't even being talked about.

http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/

The cefclient looks to be a might more reasonable to work with than
actual webkit. I've tweaked it to load locally and display as kiosk.
Just need to wrap my head around exec().

Wait -- are you asking if there's a desktop version of Phonegap? I was assuming you meant a Chrome-based render for mobile devices, esp. since the webkit on some mobile devices is quite borked. (Android 2.x, I'm looking at you.)

That's unfortunate. My team is working on webkit specific apps just
because so many mobile devices use it; iOS, Android, and Blackberry
7+. Having a desktop webkit container would alleviate a lot of work
forking Windows specific versions. I need to get it done anyway, I
just thought I'd ask. The closest I've found is DesktopGap but it has
less PG support than the current Win7 container.

Most modern platform's internal browsers are based on webkit -- iPhone and Android, etc. Windows Phone (and the upcoming Firefox OS) would be exceptions to the rule. 

I know there's been work done on supporting PG with Chrome as the renderer, but don't hold your breath for it; a lot of stuff would have to be rewritten.
