jquery plugin template - cool!

jaml is haml in javascript

Mike Gunderloy's bigass Rails template. A few plugins in there that I haven't heard of. Will have to check them out.

"Erector is a Builder-like view framework, inspired by Markaby but overcoming some of its flaws. In Erector all views are objects, not template files, which allows the full power of object-oriented programming (inheritance, modular decomposition, encapsulation) in views."

"is a template engine 100% in JavaScript" - Similar to Prototype's Template class except it loads the template markup from a url instead of a js string. Helpful.

another base rails app, like the caboose app
