Nirvana never got off the ground unfortunatly. It started with one 
person working on it quite a bit, but no one else joined in.
Later on other people not aware of Nirvana did the same, to a lesser 
extent. I and a few other people tried to get more attention to Nirvana 
and get them together as a group to work on one codebase. Unfortunatly 
it ground to an halt when trying to joining these efforts together, 
noticable as the different code-bases.

IMO what is needed for a WebKit-port is a dedicated team-leader who can 
plan, supervise, and market the project. Maybe we should even create a 
browser-team under the Haiku project, which handles not one browser but 
all efforts. The code doesn't have to be managed in Haiku's svn, just 
the team and it's status/roadmap.
