OK, so I finally got time to write some docs & unit tests for my own baby... and here comes Dominoes: http://code.google.com/p/javascript-dominoes/
See the Wiki pages to get an idea of what it is capable of (quite the wall of text there but heh). It is more of a general purpose "scheduler" and provides some nice features like property expansion, global dependency rules, etc, etc. It is browser agnostic in the spirit of sizzle. Only 4kB minified but the google compiler breaks the code (I didn't have time to investigate why). 2009/12/21 John Resig <jere...@gmail.com> > Hi James - > > There's definitely room for collaboration here.
