Hi Andreas,
a very similar tool to YSlow is Googles PageSpeed:
http://code.google.com/intl/en/speed/page-speed/
they do have rules as well
http://code.google.com/intl/en/speed/page-speed/docs/rules_intro.html
And if you want to play with another neat JS lib you can check out http://qooxdoo.org/ which is used by Eclipse RAP to render Java SWT Widgets in the browser.
Keep up the good work with AjaxEdition
I’d like to add SpriteMe ( http://spriteme.org/ ). It generates sprites right in the web page, so you can play with sprites without having to upload or download anything.
