The name WebKit encompass many things which can be confusing: -The WebKit project (aka "The WebKit Open Source Project"). -The WebKit framework on Mac and iOS. Those art ports of the WebKit project for those platform. -The WebKit and WebKit2 layers: the API layers of the WebKit project. -The WebKit ports (WebKitEFL, EFLWebKit, WinCairoWebKit, etc). Popular forks of the WebKit projects are often referred to as WebKit as well (WebKit .Net, blink, etc). WebKit on this mailing-list (aka "The WebKit Open Source Project" and "webkit.org") is the common project aiming at producing the best Web engine (see the goals here: https://www.webkit.org/projects/goals.html). Most of the code is platform independent and developed collaboratively on webkit.org. The platform-dependent code is abstracted in what we call a port. There are many ports of WebKit on webkit.org: -Mac OS X Apple port. -iOS Apple port. -Windows Apple port. -WebKit GTK (port of WebKit for GTK) -EFL WebKit (port of WebKit for Linux Enlightenment Foundation Library) -WinCairo port. There are many other ports outside webkit.org. Most of them are maintained internally by the company using it (e.g. Blackberry, Sony, etc).
