We're happy to announce the general availability of Willow and it's related projects in the Web Stack ecosystem hosted at https://github.com/ba-st/.

Willow is a Web Interaction Library that eases the burden of creating AJAX-based web applications. The project goals are:

• Provide a Smalltalk protocol for the interactive behavior of web components
• Reify the pieces of a web application to improve reuse
• Offer a simple and polymorphic protocol for different front-end frameworks.

It's MIT licensed and built on top of the Seaside Web Framework providing a set of composable components and easier AJAX interaction. It's intented to work alongside the RenoirSt DSL to define the CSS of your application.
