Hello,

At the Qt Contributor summit, we discussed about the future of WebKit2 
living in the new scenegraph world.
Simon did a patch to start that integration: 
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62969

The patch is now updated and the plan is to get it in a state that can 
be landed, and then improve on top of it to get the best rendering 
performance.

Once this land, Qt 5 and QtDeclarative will be needed to build WebKit2. 
If you want to work on WebKit2, you probably want to get Qt 5 :)
The instructions to get Qt 5 are here: 
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

In practice for WebKit2, you only need the following submodules: qtbase, 
qtscript, qtsvg  qtxmlpatterns-staging, qtdeclarative (+its submodule: v8).

cheers,
Benjamin
