I’m so excited to see this is really fleshing out so quickly Bob! I’m going to check it out once it becomes a bit more developed but it looks so great so far. Can’t wait to use it! Thanks for sharing! ---

I think it may be possible to document the API and capabilities as a sub page off of the Wiki page, at least for now. Later on I will open up a bug tracker and wiki - probably hanging off of GitHub or BitBucket, but for now its on Trello. I hope to hear more about the needs people have and what direction they would need things to be going. ---

[=darkZ;21523] Yeah I think $5 is quite unfair unless implementing this plugin was close to trivial. I would imagine paying much higher for something which achieves this. [/] I will do my best to keep the price point reasonable. I completely understand your positions though. I have not nailed down any of the marketplace details just yet, I will let you know though. =) In other news, my apologies for not having an update to you guys sooner. I think the next update will be the one that will make you all realize the potential for this plugin. Its really quite amazing how much flexibility is provided by something as simple as integrating a language like JS. I may need to include source access as well, maybe ill do like Epic has and provide you all with the ability to see the guts of the plugin so you can do what you need. It may be better turned into a module and not used as a plugin. All discussions that we can have going forward. Soon! An update will be in your hands soon! ---

I will be including a sample project with the next release that will walk through exposing classes, interacting across the boundary and how to leverage some basic JS closures to help organizing code. The eventing system will likely also be featured.
