[uf-dev] JavaScript authoring tools initiative

[André Luís]

Hell yeah!

I've been musing over this for quite some time too. My particular
interest is in assuring that whichever tools end up being developed,
they should be easily translatable.

I'm available for any javascript coding and possibly even user testing
(as long as they're translated to Portuguese, which I'm willing to
do).

Where do I signup?
