GXT/GWT, DTOs and Dozer : Managing the Exception rather then the Common Case
For all of its amazing cleverness, GWT has one really difficult area, persistence. There are various projects and attempts to clear this are up but most are very young and have a ways to go. This gets even more complicated if your not, lets face it, using Hibernate. As a Cayenne fan I don’t use [...]
Ajax Wizards in Wicket

2) Ruby actually works [...]
Webmin Virtual Host Manager
**UPDATE**
Dead project, leaving this be for historical purposes. Webmin has perfectly good vhost capabilities now.
Update
Now requires the perl module YAML. Why? I moved to a new host and the Storable data was not byte compatible. YAML is a nice way to represent data structures in a portable, parsable and human readable way. It was [...]
