Sebastian Bergmann has posted an official call for help for a PHPUnit-related project that seems to be a more and more requested feature for the popular unit testing package - an Ajax-based test runner.
It would be great if the frontend for the browser-based test runner would make use of AJAX. Since I am clueless when it comes to both web design in general and AJAX in particular, I would appreciate if someone else could help me with implementing this test runner.
He’s looking for the XHTML, CSS, and Javascript to put it all together as well as the Javascript that makes the magic happen. If you’re interested in helping out, you can either contact him on the mailing list or in #phpunit on the Freenode IRC network.

Mike Wallner has thrown together some stats for the latest edition of the pecl/http package to test its response performance.
The results surprised me, because it clearly shows that the performance drop for starting the PHP engine and doing the neccessary negotiation to provide caching is not that bad.
There’s a chart of the results as well as a full PDF with all of the stats the graph maps out. He includes the legend to make the graph easier to understand.

As mentioned over on Ajaxian.com, there’s a new Ajax framework in town that’s looking to “ease the development of rich Ajax applications, by generating the appropriate JavaScript code” - AjaxCore.
AjaxCore takes all the dirty work of JavaScript code generation and provides a solid foundation. The concept is to extend a Generic AjaxCore class and defining methods that handle the Ajax driven events and binding them to HTML objects.
It uses Prototype to work with the DOM and Ajax connections and to help you with binding the scripts to the different elements on the page. Code can be linked to certain elements and have that (server-side) code automatically executed when an element is referenced. You can find out more from the AjaxCore homepage and the Ajaxian post also includes a simple inline example to get you started.
