I've branched the root into my whiteboard. I'm currently doing a major reorganisation of the JS framework (files, not code) and the general setup of the project. I've also started work on the 'publisher', that will take the AS, compile it to JS, add the JS framework to it and create the 'index.html'. There are empty dirs waiting for the unit tests and there is an examples directory in both the 'source' and 'published' directories. Please take a look and decide if this is something that would make sense to implement in de 'develop' branch.
