Update - 2005-07-26
- Brian Cassidy worked on much more style and XHTML validity changes.
- Added feeds to Planet JavaScript.
- Got some good press on radar.oreilly.com.

- The smoke testing system mostly works now. Start Testing!
- David Wheeler added JSON Metadata support to Module-Build-JSAN, which is nearing completion.

Update - 2005-07-20
- Brian Cassidy worked on more XHTML validity changes.
- I released Planet JavaScript
- That would not have happened if Bob Ippolito hadn't fixed the Planet code to work on FreeBSD, and to handle utf8 properly.
- The RSS Feed got proper dates for each entry. Now they just need descriptions for each upload. I'm thinking the abstract and the Changes file. What do you think?
- Adam Kennedy is working on a better road map.
Update - 2005-07-19
- Brian Cassidy worked over the site's style to make it IE friendly. By far the coolest thing of the day.
- Adam Kennedy is working on an alternative JSAN Client.
- David Wheeler added support for tags in META.yml, in Module-Build-JSAN. This is very cool, it means you can supply a list of tags in Build.PL. Who needs categories anymore?
- David also tweaked the JSAN Library to always refer to JSAN.globalScope to find the global scope. JSAN 0.08 was released with this change (I forgot to update the Changes file!). I also added tags to this library.
- I added support for stripping inline POD from JavaScript libraries in Moudle-Build-JSAN. This will keep JSAN.js lean.
- I added tag support to the incoming processor.
- I added a tag cloud to the home page
- The incoming processor now builds pages for tags too.
Update - 2005-07-18
- Took Saturday and Sunday off. It was nice.
- We now have a mirror in the UK. Thanks Pete!
- Moved master sites to the pair Networks mirror.
- Changed styles to work a little better in broken IE.
- Mirrors can now control their logo with JavaScript.
- Rob Kinyon update the JSAN Library to accept multiple arguments and have a defined mechanism to import nothing.
- I fixed indexes in the latest JSAN Shell for installation.
- Module-Build-JSAN now extracts inline POD (but doesn't remove it). This is in Subversion for now. Rob did this.
- View the Source!
- Promoted our JSAN BOF at OSCON on the home page.
- A reStructuredText to HTML tool was written and committed by Bob Ippolito, it will be integrated with the incoming processor to support RST documentation.
Update - 2005-07-15
- The author-editable wiki is online, but still requires tweaking.
- Smoke Testing is even closer to release.
- You can read commits via the mailing list, with diffs, if you like.
- An AUTHORS file was started at the root of SVN, please add yourself if you have commit rights.
- A minimal MAP was added to SVN as well.

I've opened Subversion access for all to see. The JSAN Library version 0.06 was released. I think I'm going to rest a little tomorrow.
Update - 2005-07-13
Added search on the home page. Added quick link functionality (go to HTTP.Query). Version 0.03 of the JSAN Shell now follows prerequisites and installs them. We have two mirrors in Taiwan including one with IPv6 support.
Update - 2005-07-12
Lots of internal changes: switched to hashing login names to support expected growth, JAUSE IDs are now all lower-case (your ID may have been changed for you!). Tatsuhiko Miyagawa launched a mirror in Japan. Adam Kennedy built a mock of a Class::DBI and SQLite index system. I used that to convert the new YAML Index to an SQLite index. With that the JSAN Shell has been released! Look for version 0.02. Learn how to install JSAN libraries.
shell> jsan index shell> jsan -p /usr/local/js install Digest.MD5
Update - 2005-07-10
You can now complain about bugs and stuff in the JSAN RT. The documentation bugs in the JSAN library have been fixed. If you are a mirror, or want to be, you can now get your logo on you mirror. We have launched a small Cafepress Store so you can wear an awesome JSAN shirt to your next geek event. JAUSE has better input validation now.
Update - 2005-07-08
We now have mirrors. The JSAN library has been updated and now has a more simple syntax and some default paths built in. If you install your libraries into the same place JSAN.js is you can just do this now.
JSAN.use('Test.Simple');
Update - 2005-07-08
Marshall Roch created some excellent logos and gave me more CSS pointers. Ask Hansen provided a Develooper signed SSL certificate which means you can now log in over SSL! The start of a road map has been created, and we've created a neat way to promote JSAN. There were many internal changes as well.
Update - 2005-07-07
We have Mailing Lists! I've also included information on the project and the team of people who have directly or indirectly helped this project in a positive way.
