The following links are likely relevant to either embedders or scripters, and include stuff from relevant standards to information about the architecture of JS in the client to works in progress.

ECMA: ECMA hosted the standardization effort for JavaScript, resulting in ECMA-262 and ISO-16262.
Simple Packages: A proposal for language features to support modularity in the near term.
File object: The current working document for the JavaScript File object, which allows access to files and (eventually) pipes. Please send comments to Norris Boyd.
LiveConnect: LiveConnect is the Java<->JavaScript communication technology first shipped as part of Navigator 3.0. The core engine now includes a VM-independent, JNI-based LiveConnect system. Plans for a future version of LiveConnect (``LC3'') are being developed. Some LiveConnect documentation has been assembled.
PerlConnect: PerlConnect is LiveConnect-like glue that ties JS and Perl together. The source is in js/src/perlconnect, including documentation.
Multithreading in libmocha: libmocha is the library that implements JavaScript in the browser. Mike McCool has been working on adapting libmocha to run in multiple threads concurrently.
