Yes, although I doubt that the syntax used in the example is valid

He, he. Things do change in a year don't they?
The use of javascript is not very good, but there is not much we can do
with a static page like the ones in source cast, not having a backend
forces us to manually mantain all the information of the site since is not
stored anywhere. The only work around found is to execute scripts from
remote servers who can extract and store the information in remote
databases.
For example, announcements are burry in the menu pile, and also other
important information on the mailing list. The way to capture this
information is to constantly reliying on a human being creating this
articles for the community to bring.
This has proven very time consuming and difficult, usually a script willt
take care of this but given the current app is not possible. Remote
servers are being deployed but the expertise to code remotely is well, not
very popular.
Client side scripting is the very few programming that we can do, and
having a repository can fill the need for this expertise.
Javascript traditionally are very badly design making this a reasonalbe
opposition by web-developers. However on recent days javascript reputation
has become more stable as browsers now have a DOM standard.
A great example of the use of Javascript is on Gmail UI. A banner
randomizer could create a good rotation of the wide information and also
could give us a Join project with the Art project.
Finally I think that other things such as info nuggest can also be
beneficial to the overal flow of information.
