Just a list of frameworks. Yeah, I know jQuery is rad, but I was hoping to see some actual advice on the prototyping process, as opposed to the coding process.

As cool and useful as Pinax is, calling it "well documented" isn't entirely accurate considering the fact that there is barely any documentation to speak of.

Next step: use some simple data mining to recommend other movies I might like, and link to a site where I can watch/buy.

Adobe has a Thermo but it's still in labs. http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Thermo

Yes! Exactly what is at the top of my list.

Yep, that was a bit overenthusiastic of me. But I noticed they are improving the documentation fast. It is a very young project after all.

Maybe I could rephrase "well documented" in: given the clarity and the good structure of the code I did not have problems finding my way around.

I am planning to do that. I just posted a quick background story and overview as soon as I had done with the marathon. More to come.
