This code is from my blog - not code generated by newjs. Sorry, I
didn't know what
code you were looking at.

But yep, its currently broken (plus has unnecessary firefox
console.log references
in it). I'm  currently rewriting it under tests. The new version also
has no
dependency on another library. When I threw the original version
together, it did use prototypejs
but the console.log reference is for firefox debugging. Before I had
tests I had
to use debugging. The console.log shouldn't be there in production of
course :)

Re: git - its a source control system - http://git.or.cz/ originally
written by Linus Torvalds.

Re: newjs - sorry I've not explained very well what its purpose is. In
the past for Ruby development,
its awesome having a starting point for a new library, instead of a
blank folder and having to
copy+paste over useful files from other projects as a starting point.
I codified my preferred
starting point for a new project - READMEs, generators, folders,
helper tasks (e.g. Rakefile/Makefile).
That's what newjs is - a codification of a starting point.

Cheers
Nic
