Work has been started on Javascript auto completion support, but part of our 
problem was the language parser issues. While many of these have been 
addressed I'm not sure the current status. One significant benefit will be 
the integration with KDevelop in KDE 4. Because Ian uses Javascript 
extensively it is well supported in KDevelop. Parser integration issues are 
less clear to me as different people assert different things here, but I 
anticipate that it should be able to be resolved to our benefit. From there 
we need to manage the other specific elements for web work, like the 
assistance with DOM objects. At this point enough people are doing enough 
things it's hard to say where specific benefits might arise, but one thing is 
sure. Anyone who wants to assist, coordinate and test in this area is very 
welcome to get involved. ;-)

My strategy is simple. I find people deeply passionate about a given area who 
will approach it with vision and it is done better than if I try to 
micro-manage another area. It is how we insure excellence through teamwork.
