Olio is a is a web2.0 toolkit to help evaluate the suitability, functionality and performance of web technologies. Olio defines an example web2.0 application ( an events site somewhat like yahoo.com/upcoming) and provides three initial implementations : PHP, Java EE and RubyOnRails (ROR). The toolkit also defines ways to drive load against the application in order to measure performance.
We encourage alternate implementations of the application by either completely re-writing the application using a different language (say python), higher-level frameworks (such as CakePHP)
Welcome to Project SocialSite, an open source (CDDL/GPL2) project building Widgets and Web Services that make it easy for you to add social networking features to your existing web sites, including the ability to run OpenSocial Gadgets and have them backed by the same social graph.
Here are some of the key features we're developing:
* A complete end-to-end user interface for Social Networking in the form of JavaScript widgets that can be embedded into any site (Java, Ruby, PHP-based and more).
* A flexible Social Graph repository that can work in a wide variety of social networking scenarios. With configurable profile properties and relationship types.
* Comprehensive JavaScript and REST API access to that Social Graph repository: OpenSocial plus conforming extensions.
* Scalability via support for running in distributed configuration, table partitioning technologies, master and slave databases and distributed caching.
jabsorb is a simple and lightweight Ajax/Web 2.0 framework that allows you to call methods in a Java web application from JavaScript code running in a web browser as if they were local objects residing directly in the browser.
jabsorb handles all the details of marshalling and unmarshalling objects back and forth between the client and server so that you can focus on writing your application features.
jabsorb makes use of the JSON-RPC protocol for it's transport mechanism. JSON-RPC is a standard protocol and jabsorb can interoperate with other standard JSON-RPC clients and servers that may be written in other languages.
Starting with jabsorb 1.2, additional ORB functionality has been added, and it extends the basic JSON-RPC protocol to allow for passing data structures that contain Circular References.
Slow analyzes web pages and tells you why they're slow based on the rules for high performance web sites. YSlow is a Firefox add-on integrated with the popular Firebug web development tool. YSlow gives you:

Ramaze is a simple, light, and modular open-source web-framework written in Ruby, similar in spirit to Rails, Camping and merb.
Ramaze is extremely stable (thanks in part to an exhaustive test suite) and currently has no known bugs.
Ramaze is usually pronounced ra-ma-ze, Japanese style.
Parancoe is a Java meta-framework aggregating in an useful way Hibernate/JPA, Spring 2, Spring MVC and, for the AJAX support, DWR. Parancoe purpose is to give to developers a set of libraries ready to build standard web applications (which in most cases are just crud applications) without worrying of long and harmful configurations files. Parancoe will be composed of a full MVC stack.
Direct Web Remoting
DWR allows Javascript in a browser to interact with Java on a server and helps you manipulate web pages with the results.
DWR is Easy Ajax for Java
Qwicket is a quickstart application for the wicket framework. Its intent is to provide a rapid method for creating a new wicket project with the basic infrastructure in place so that you can quickly get to the meat of your application rather than mucking with the plumbing of a wicket application. Currently, the system only supports spring and hibernate built with ant. Future plans include support for maven 2 and other persistence layers such as ibatis.
From the authors of the German book "JSF@work" (see http://jsfatwork.irian.at). A lightweight framework for J2EE web applications which makes a clean step out of session handling problems when using persistence frameworks. Also features like aspect oriented JSF are introduced. All provided by a best-practice web application.
