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).
