Tuesday Morning Roundup
Tuesday morning roundup!
- Lesserwiki - a very light Ruby on Rails wiki very similiar to TiddlyWiki, with all updates done continuously on one page, double click to edit, etc.
- Article on Writing Custom Iterators for Prototype from Encytemedia
- A Prototype solution to the DOM Ready issue (see Dean's post for background info)

- An Ajax-ready slide transition library (demo) based on the popular Prototype/scriptaculous combo.
