Great news Dion, does this mean you won’t be working for G anymore…?
@kpenn
Ra-Ajax (my project) needs help, mostly USERS in fact which are willing to give feedback on the lib and others writing tutorials and documentation things…
Feel free to jump in .. :)

That sounds like good news guys!

Can you disclose some more information about what platform are these tools are going to be based on? Are we talking about FF extensions, Eclipse plugins?

This is great!

But why not help out and invest in Eclipse ATF (AJAX Toolkit Framework)?

Thanks a lot guys. We are anxious to have posts that show actions and code and not talk.

jgilfeit (and others),

If there is something that you wish your tools did, let us know :)

Great news guys. I am an IDE and tools junkie and cannot live without Eclipse and Aptana Studio. I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.

Congrats, good news indeed. If you’re planning to implement your tools in XUL, I’m thinking the first thing you’ll be doing is writing a usable API over that nasty low level XUL/Mozilla API, which might make it possible for mere mortals to write more XUL-based code.

Hi – I’d like to contribute. I’m new to ajax programming, so I’m not sure I could contribute on development, but I’d be happy to do documentation, if you’d like. Thanks, Ken

Dion,
This is GREAT news! As I told you a few years ago, my vision for Open Development for the web was why I started OpenDomain. I gave severla domains to foster it.
Would you be Open to using OpenAjax.Com or otherwise working with the OpenAjax Alliance ?
I have some great references – I also gave ecmascript.org to Brendan Eich.
