Kiwi - A little javascript framework I wrote that saved me a lot of time
http://github.com/rpbertp13/kiwi
I wrote Kiwi for a project I just launched. I think it is quite a solid base for something better, so I'm putting it out there for any potential collaborators. Needs some work, feel free to fork or critique :)

Initial thoughts: This filled a void for me. I have been looking for something like this for a while now. I have had problems with organizing my Javascript code.
I will definitely try this out when I get home tonight. For now, off to the beach!
Thanks!

Thanks!
this could really use a more cohesive documentation, say a simple example. I don't understand how to hook it up, my callbacks don't get called
Thanks to everyone for the comments!
Nice framework. Good job!
Respect! Such a cool little script!
This reminds me of Jester

Yes, this is like Jester, but jQuery style. Very nice work!
Very similar to it indeed! That's what I like about REST... standards organize interfacing tools in similar ways. I'll take a better look at jester :)
wtf is with this obsession with javascript frameworks ?
It's not a bad question, really. One reason is that JavaScript is the only popular language with no standard library.
not a bad question, though poorly (immaturely) articulated.
in addition to mbrubeck's comment, i'd say that javascript has grown from merely providing neat actions to webpages, to being model, view and controller.
at my startup we (er, the other developer) ported/mimic'd django's mvc to javascript. we're building a firefox extension, so this is particular critical as the extension must provide the full mvc for the "website."
edit: as a ff extension, our models are backed by sqlite files. in jester and kiwi are models objects? that is, are these frameworks purely for client-side applications, or for javascript-server stuff?

It's not an obsession, I wrote it because I needed something like this for my current work. I know there are quite of bunch of javascript frameworks out there, but the ones I looked at where either too huge or clunky, or didn't fit my needs.
My intention was merely to share it with the community and propose the base for a hopefully collaborative project.
