The WebKit developers sent a message on their mailing list back in September:

https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2011-September/018075.html

No one from Haiku saw it obviously to object, so on the same day,
September 25, our port was removed from their repo:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/95922

Oops.

Ironically I started my attempt and merging in our changes in our repo
back in June but didn't finish obviously and wasn't paying attention
to see the above message.

Now I could revert the above change and continue merging the changes
from our repo but they just may not want us as a port anymore.

So I'm emailing here to get suggestions on what we should do next.

I REALLY, REALLY don't want to maintain our own repo, especially with
all the Haiku code removed from the main WebKit repo. But I suspect I
or we will need to contribute more to WebKit and stay active for them
to let us back.
