Today we are making an AJAX-enabled Sticky Note management system. It will give visitors the ability to create notes with a live preview, and move them around on the screen. Every movement is going to be sent to the back-end via AJAX and saved in the database.

They use the fancybox plugin for jQuery to make creating the notes a lot simpler. Included in the tutorial is all of the HTML, CSS, javascript and PHP you'll need to create the application (as well as plenty of description along the way). You can see a demo of it in action here or just download the source and dive right in.

http://pear.php.net is now using jQuery for some sections of the administration area in order to view user notes/comments and that I will be starting implementing more sections over the site within the next few weeks (Of course this will all be done once we have split the code completely into templates, views, controllers, MDB2 move, etc)

He also makes some comments about the number of Javascript frameworks out there and a mention of the roadmap for the rest of the features they plan to add to the PEAR site.

For the past few days with the help of Greg Beaver (CelloG), I have been implementing user notes in the pear user documentation. This is now live and running using text-captcha-numeral and an administration backend where any developer can approve comments.

[...] Anyways, this is currently working, you have to go on a package's documentation link and then click on end-user documentation. You will then notice at the bottom a link that says "Add a note/comment".

He's also looking at adding some Javascript functionality to make it a bit more "pretty" (some jQuery features like popups/fading/etc). You can see an example of it already on the MDB2 documentation page.
