During a code sprint today I brought Wicket--the name I'm using for a new Javascript library--to a stable and, hopefully, useful point. It's actually already being used in OpenClimateGIS (though my pull request is still pending). Wicket owes its inspiration to OpenClimateGIS, where the need for a lightweight Javascript library to translate between well-known text (WKT) strings and Google geometry first became apparent to me. While some geographic frameworks, like OpenLayers, have built-in support WKT, the Google Maps API does not and I couldn't find a stand-alone library to work with WKT. Thus: Wicket. I hope you'll check it out and make use of it <http://github.com/arthur-e/Wicket>.
