Here is the biggest thing to me. I didn't 'get' asp back in the day. One day I read an article about the 'page life cycle' that made everything gell. All of a sudden I was building server controls and it all made sense.

I'd love a 'page lifecycle' for ember. Or rather the event loop. A set happens. Code Runs. A collection of bindings is cross referenced. Observers run. Loop starts over.

@dgeb totally. i've actually rewritten your example in coffeescript locally, will likely share at some point. want to level up my own knowledge before disseminating the codes :-)

@skilesare maybe i'm not following, but Ember does have a loop. Are you looking for a different kind or didn't realize it?

@jackdempsey I just want someone to document it. Maybe with some pictures. See this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178472.aspx I'll be more than happy to do it once I really understand it but I'm not there yet.

Hi guys! Yesterday, i wrote a post about how to contribute to Ember docs :)

When dealing with state managers and/or Rails, it would be helpful if best practices for authenticating a user against the back end server were explained. Perhaps an example where unauthenticated users are presented with only a login form and once authenticated, the rest of the interface appears with their name in the corner and the option to log out.

Hi there, what I would find really useful is a list of available plugins.
For instance, I have recently discovered this: http://ghempton.github.com/ember-layout-example/ which I think is really interesting.

@johngouf there are some useful links in the Ember.js wiki
