Installing the blog right from the marketplace was impressive, non-technical users will love this.

How about integration with other frameworks ? CommonJS is promissing but I'm sure RingoJS/NodeJS can't do everything yet.

EDIT: I was thinking of non-javascript frameworks. Apparently the creators are sticking to a "there is only commonjs" policy so far.

It's really easy to port/wrap plain JavaScript code to Erbix/CommonJS; this is the first thing we've noticed while coding on Erbix Blog/Form Creator/ActiveRecord (included in Blog, a port from TrimPath Junction).

One other example si UnderscoreJS, the library is already "ported"; this code does the trick: if (typeof exports !== 'undefined') exports._ = _;

We would welcome your suggestions on the frameworks you want us to take a look into.

It's nice that it already "just works" -- here's a direct link to the bit of code in question:

Regarding non-JavaScript frameworks: We are considering other languages (Java especially, given our implementation). Technically, we can add any Java code and run it directly, however there are security issues with this approach. So these frameworks need to be hand-picked and ported with security in mind.
