Appendix on OpenAjax complete

I worked hard to narrow down all of the information in OpenAjax wiki into something easy to read and based on information that has stabilized enough for developers to safely put into practice. A lot of the work by the OpenAjax Alliance remains in a state of flux, while other aspects of the Alliance (the work of the Security Working Group, for example) have yet to even reach an agreed upon direction and set of goals.

Developers can, however, start working with the OpenAjax hub today. It underwent a redesign and rewrite a few months ago, but has reached a point where libraries can start working with it. It doesn't so much bring a wide range of functionality as provide a couple of ways for multiple libraries to co-exist in the same interface, while encourging practices such as object-oriented scripting, event-driven application design, and the use of namespace in JavaScript (or rather, emulating it as much as possible).

One other bit of news: shortly, I'll have a link to post for the book's availability in the Rough Drafts program!
