A very nifty take on community js debugging. Check out jsBin.com. via Ajaxian (full post):

Pastebins have become an important part of sharing code with colleagues. Sites such as Pastebin & Pastie.org are extremely popular because they’re easy to use and very effective in letting people compare notes on source code, especially in a support setting.

Remy Sharp wanted to take the pastebin concept a step further, past the static posting of code. His idea, which he tossed around for 6 months, finally came to fruition in the form of JS Bin, a new pastebin site with a twist:

JS Bin is a form of paste bin, but with a twist. It allows you to also include the HTML and CSS to provide context to your pasty. As such, it means you can actually run the JavaScript and pass this on to a colleague to help to debug.

This is a great idea as it lets you troubleshoot your code while seeing immediate results. The feature list is well thought out as well.
