JS Stack

What is JS Stack?

JS Stack is my attempt to put together a solid base javascript stack for apps using heavy amounts of javascript. Think html5-boilerplate for javascript. In fact, I may integrate the two together. This is in a very early stage and is currently just a brainstorm. Thoughts ideas and suggestions are welcome.
