neat-o y'all!
This looks like a great start and from the looks of it you also have
clarity on next steps.
Nicely done.

Hi all,
Jacob and I have been working to create web-based front end for the
custom build (see http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-2645).
For those who are not familiar with the custom build tool, it
provides website developers with the ability to package the
javascript for Infusion and its supporting libraries into a single
file (+ a few odds and ends), for use on their website. Custom build
allows you to select the parts of Infusion that you want, rather
than requiring you to take the whole Infusion package found at http://fluidproject.org/products/infusion/download-infusion/
.
We have been looking at two download pages in particular to model
our UI and UX: http://jqueryui.com/download and http://mootools.net/core
.
We have made a small start to this task, by creating a non-
javascript version of a download page, for everyone to test out and
comment on. It can be found here: http://www.fluidproject.org/builder/
What it does:
The list of fluid framework elements, components and libraries is
dynamically generated from the infusion dependency declarations
(JSON files). The dependency requirements for the custom download
are also determined dynamically. You will notice warning messages if
you don't select all the required dependencies. The custom build
script is run and the resulting zip file is presented to the user
for download.
What we know still needs to be done:
1) Convert the interface into a full fledged Infusion component,
rendered on the client
2) Improve the UX
3) Finish laying out the page into groups
4) Put some polish on the appearance
Please remember that this is a proof of concept and we know there is
still lots of work to be done.
We look forward to your feedback.
Laurel
