= Welcome to the S60WebKit Project! =


== About S60Webkit ==

 
During 2005, Nokia's S60 browser development team ported [http://www.webkit.org WebKit] to the [http://www.s60.com S60 platform]. The S60WebKit project was born and from the S60 3rd edition onwards, S60WebKit is the engine behind the new [http://www.S60.com/browser Web Browser for S60]. 

 

S60WebKit brought many improvements to the reliability and performance of the Web Browser for S60, and in 2006 Nokia made the decision to contribute back by opening S60WebKit development. 


The S60WebKit source has been migrated onto a [http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/browser/S60/trunk branch] in WebKit's [http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/browser repository], all S60WebKit development has been moved to that environment, and everyone is invited to participate.


== Which Devices use S60WebKit? ==

The S60 port WebKit is the rendering engine behind the S60 browser shipped with any S60 3rd Edition device. You can see a list of supported devices, as well as an online demo,  [http://www.s60.com/business/productinfo/applicationsandtechnologies/webrowser here].

== Getting Started ==


It's easy to get started with S60WebKit:
