The concept of Design Patterns is familiar to many; short explanations of reusable techniques which you’ll find yourself adding to applications again and again. The Ajax Patterns Wiki is the beginning of an attempt to apply this pattern-gathering process to Ajax applications. While the wiki does list a wide variety of patterns, only about half are as yet documented, and the documentation often just contains a simple explanation of a pattern without examples. This has the potential to be a useful resource: when you’re developing a web application, a quick recourse to here will give you some pointers to where someone may have already developed the functionality you’re looking for, or perhaps even suggest a technique that you hadn’t thought of. It needs people to weigh in and fill in the blanks, though.
Oh, and as someone noted, “Ajax”, “Patterns”, and “Wiki” together making up the name makes it 100% buzzword compliant. :-)

I think that website is going to be good once some content gets put in there by the people who create the tools that are listed. I’m going to add it to my ajax book mark list.

It is sad, we still dont have good tutorials on AJAX, found few demos opensource and commerical, but no one is showing the real tricks and stuff,
at this speed, AJAX will remain only on niche sites for quite sometime
