At work and personally my next new shiny thing is the design of a framework for delivering JavaScript applications. It’s more than building modules, listing them in a gallery and then HOWTO documents, rather a top-to-bottom application UX delivery system.

This is more tricky than might be imagined. It’s a gallery of modules. It’s a development environment. It’s a hosting environment. It’s a core library. And not always in this order.

It’s exciting stuff to think about. And it’s really cool to think about doing it with JavaScript (client and server sides). A few things that cause concern are the definitions of things.

• What is a module?
• What is a component?
• Is there a difference?
• Or are components applications?
• What does “development environment” mean?
• Does hosting mean you get what you get or does it mean you can get what you want?

It’s answers to these questions that are critical in designing a system like this.

Fun stuff.
