    Nice list. I was looking for something to manage packages in javascript and I’ve investigated some of these but I ended up writing my own version. Have a look at it, it’s very small and simple:

    That’s pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing!

    I’m hoping ExtJS 3 will be less heavy of a framework with more opportunities for lazy-loading functionality on-the-fly.

    Hi Jason,
    I’m Ajile’s creator and just wanted to let you and everyone else know that Ajile’s still very much alive! :-)

    I’ve been actively working on it since the last release but various life events have forced me to adjust release plans.

    Since there’ve been no new issues or enhancements reported via Ajile’s Support site: http://help.ajile.net/ or blog: http://ajile.net/blog/ I’ve been experimenting with possible extensions and new approaches to some of its core features.

    What I’m working on is currently very prototypical but if all goes as planned, I’ll make a new release within the next few months.

    Thanks for the listing. It’s good to see interest in this area.
