Hello Sergiy,
I've got a bunch of links for different areas where work has been done.
Some information on the protocol and is outlined in the following links. I
don't think they are up to date; I think things have improved and evolved since
then. Pavel and Ilya may be able to comment more on the protocol since there
has been quite a bit of work recently splitting it up into different domains to
turn on/off debugging different domains or feature sets. But I think the
protocol has been stable for a while. I think they even had some discussion
with the Firebug team when they talked about a debugging protocol, but I can't
seem to find where that discussion took place.

Here is a screencast, previously posted to this list, of it working in Chromium:

There has been some work on an internal WebKit solution based on Web Sockets:

QtWebKit [Already Landed]

External to WebKit, Patrick Mueller has been working on weinre. Patrick is on
this list and might comment more:

Hello,
I'm working on a remote JavaScript debugger for a server which uses webkit to
execute JavaScript code. The debugger is shaping up nicely and is already
very much functional. We chose Crossfire as the debugging protocol and
developed our own UI debugger client. However, being Crossfire-compatible,
should allow us in the (hopefully near) future to debug the server-side
JavaScript using Firefox with Firebug and Crossfire plug-ins. I was wondering
if there are any plans in the webkit community to create a native remote
JavaScript debugger as part of the webkit build. If there are such plans then
what would be the debugging protocol of choice? Webkit is already available
on mobile devices but because of the screen size limitations it is not always
reasonable to debug the Javascript directly on a device. Instead, it would be
nice to debug the device's JavaScript from a regular PC over the network.
If any of you are already working on a similar subject then please share your
thoughts and comments regarding your particular implementation, which
protocol you use and how you see remote debugging appearing in webkit.
