to John Resig: Have you considered uploading jQuery to openjsan.org?
I ask, becuase I feel the Perl guys could use a decent foundation to do their work on, and jQuery might fit the bill. ---- to everyone else: I'm a little concerned about JSAN, because it started out as a promising project to bring something CPAN-like for all Javascript programmers, but it's kinda fizzled out after the initial excitement. One serious problem in my mind is that it's mainly Perl people who seem to care about it right now while people from other language communities (like Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, etc.) seem to ignore it. In the very beginning, this wasn't the case, because the guy who wrote Prototype was willing to work with the JSAN group, and the guy who wrote MochiKit (a python guy) actually has uploaded a few versions to openjsan.org (although it seems like he hasn't uploaded the latest versions). There was an initial willingness by a diverse group to work together, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore, and that's sad. My hunch is that aspects of openjsan.org take a bit too much from the Perl community, and for whatever reason, this is a turn-off to non-Perl programmers. (I think using POD for Javascript documentation may be one of these things but it's hard for me to say....) Anyway, I'd like to hear from non-Perl programmers what they think of openjsan.org and especially what they DO NOT like about openjsan.org (so we'll know what to fix). _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
