Hey Chris,
You definitely do a stellar job of talking up jQuery and I'm really
thankful for that. It makes my job as the jQuery Evangelism Lead
that much easier. I really appreciate your efforts.
As for stats, we currently have 2302 signed up on the list so its a
nice number of supporters!

Just to make a comment on the community for a second. I must say
that this is the first web community where I've felt welcome. I
don't know if that's because I've been on the list (thanks to you
Rey) since before jQuery had a version number, or because I rarely
if ever see anyone discouraging anyone else because of their
current ability level.
I'll tell you another thing. Anytime I get into a conversation on
which JS library to use (usually over on CF-Talk, but sometimes
other places too), not only do I always recommend jQuery, but I
*always* make it a point to take the opportunity to tell folks
about the jQuery community, and how awesome it is. Even though
we're growing, and are probably quite large (any stats on the
number of list subscribers, Rey?) it still feels very tight knit.
Anyway, those are my blubbery thoughts... I love you guys, man!
*sniff* ;o)
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Tane. We really believe we have the best community out
there and nurturing it is a project priority. Empowering the
community is very important and we want you guys to drive the
features as opposed to us imposing things on you. Hopefully,
everyone will bare with us just a bit while we focus on finishing
v1.1.3 and then jump on v1.2.
Also, if anyone has real concerns about these performance
results, please don't hesitate to ask us about it. We'll be glad
to address them and let you know whether its truly something that
you should be concerned about or if its something that's more
along the lines of FUD. Our core team is as talented as any out
there so we do have the ability to give you answers based on real-
world experiences.
Thanks,
Rey

Again, another good thing about the jQuery community - you guys
actually listen to the community, and our wants and concerns. A
lot
could be said for other communities ruled with an iron fist, and
getting nowhere fast.

We know that a lot of you have been concerned about the speed test
results recently generated by the SlickSpeed Selector Test
Suite. We
understand your concerns and realize how tests like these can
cause
misconceptions about real-world performance to those unfamiliar
with
client-side development. As such, the team is committed to
improving
selector performance and will begin looking into this after
v1.1.3 is
officially released. Improvements could come in the form of an
interim
release or in jQuery v1.2, depending on the complexities of the
changes
and how they tie into the overall core architecture.
John Resig, jQuery project team leader, will make a decision as
to how
these improvements will be implemented and will also make a
formal blog
posting about v1.2 soon after v1.1.3 is out of beta. We will
continue to
focus on maintaining a small, feature-rich package but will
consider
increasing jQuery's core size to accommodate improvements.
As you know, the jQuery project has one of the most
enthusiastic and
supportive communities on the Net and its important to ensure
that every
jQuery developer feels like the project team is listening to
their
concerns. We've certainly heard you and will be working to improve
selector speeds in the near future.
Thanks for all the feedback and support.
Rey....
