Summary: Last year, word leaked about HTML5 and JavaScript add-ons coming for Office 15. Now we know the codename for those add-ons: Agaves.

With Office 15, developers will be able to use the Office JavaScript application programming interface (API) to create different kinds of Agaves, I?ve heard from my contacts. There seem to be different kinds of Agaves, including Content Agaves and Task Pane Agaves, according to one contact of mine with the Office 15 Technical Preview.
