I plan to create a chat on the site for users, and was wondering if there is already open source javascript library that I can use.
You might want to have a look at node.js / jquery. Here's a tutorial on a chat (which supports web socket).
If you are using Dojo Toolkit there's something called Cometd to implement a chat room too.
Or you could use this (but no websocket).

I would like to allow powerusers to perform certain actions on the site in a command-line like interface (think Quake console that slides in from above ;-). Is there a library that already implements the basics of what I need in the browser? Tasks like getting the input from the user, command history etc. Me and my colleagues will have limited time to implement this during a hackathon, so we want to have as much time as possible to implement the actual commands interfacing with our app.
Have a look at Josh.js for a bash-like environment in the browser:

Of course there is also the excellent termlib found here.

I’ve heard the statement that Python would be too slow to be of any use in browsers.
I reckon Javascript is only superior in this aspect because of companies like Google who need it fast (and made it fast) because they need it to survive, but I could be wrong.
Are there any differences in how Python and JS are designed that have an impact on how they (would) perform in browsers?
There is a project named Brython designed to replace JavaScript as the scripting language for the web.

The situation as it stands is:
We're using our own services API for all the application logic to save data and validate it
We're using localstorage instead of cookies for the few variables we need to keep track of (authentication token, etc)
The presentation layer of the app is currently written in vanilla javascript with some Jquery for basic stuff.
Would it make sense to switch to Backbone - and if so, what code would need to be refactored?

I'm building a stress testing framework for node.js services using node.js.
Do you know relevant projects which I can use / look at?
node.js projects that you've used and worked good? (latency, throughput etc..)
Any best practices on that matter?
Thanks!

Can anyone show me an example of how to connect to mysql database in phonegap or if its even possible ?
I agree with cgwyllie you should write a webservice which will act as an API to your database with methods returning JSON (or XML).
The webservice methods can then be called from your PhoneGap project (I would recommend having a look at the jquery ajax api http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/).
I would just write the webservice in PHP or whatever language you are familiar with.
