It's great to see the responses. I'd like to split the thread in two:
1. Among the existing javascript widget libraries, is there one that is most compatible with mochikit's approach? 2. It sounds like there is interest in creating a repository for mochikit widgets and/or code snippets. Do people have a preference for where it should be hosted? At mochikit.com? On sourceforge, savannah, googlecode? We could start populating the project with Jason Bunting's thick box. A google search also showed a project on sourceforge with other intreface components. (I seem to have missplaced the URL).
