History Of AjaxPatterns
The site grew from an initial blog post on Michael Mahemoff's blog and was used to produce the online draft of the O'Reilly Design Patterns text. It's since grown into a general resource on Ajax. For its first year, the wiki was only partially open, with important pages such as pattern descriptions closed to the public due to vandalism concerns while the book was being written. Now that the book is complete, and many Ajax patterns are emerging and being refined, the entire wiki is open to the public (with the exception of the homepage).
