Hi,
I would like to participate. I was looking at some older code that I was
updating to use JQuery Mobile 1.4 and wasn't very neat, the code was a bit
sloppy. I was taking the JSON returned from a WordPress JSON API blog
(meaning I was using the JSON API plugin for the WordPress blogging
platform) and dynamically building up content to go into the div with
data-role="content." I thought there must be a cleaner and better way of
doing this. I was thinking at first, just using HandlebarsJS, Mustache or
Dust.js to clean up the code. Then I thought that I'd just jump right into
Angular.js with JQuery Mobile. I didn't realize that it would be
complicated to just let Angular.js control parts of a page, like the div
with data-role of content. So, essentially, I was trying JQuery & JQuery
Mobile, followed by JQM+JQ+Templates and finally JQ+JQM+Angular.js.
Now, I'm interested in this plan that you discuss here. I'll have to
get the repo and review it. Not sure if you still need contributors or not.
Thanks,
Bruce
