        var uri = checkbox.closest("article").find("h1 a").attr("href");
        jQuery.get(uri, callback);
    }, function(markdown, checkbox, callback) {
        var uri = checkbox.closest("article").find("h1 a").attr("href");
        jQuery.ajax({
            type: "put",
            uri: uri,
            data: markdown,
            success: callback
        });
    });

See included `checklists.js` for details.
