I would not describe these as forks. They are "inspired" by Watir, to greater and lesser degrees and I don't think the Watir project should be endorsing any of them. E.g. at one point it seemed that despite the names, there was a more Watir-like Java driver that Watij -- I forget the name.
However, i would include watir-webdriver, because it does implement the Watir-API, and its work is being coordinated with the other parts of the Watir project. It sounds like it makes sense to drop mention of chromewatir and instead list chrome as one of the platforms supported by watir-webdriver.
