If you think jQuery is better, by all means, switch to it. jQuery is a
great framework.
The state of the MooTools website is not optimal at the moment, but
let me assure you that it isnt because we dont care about MooTools
code. MooTools is being actively developed, and the fact that the blog
isnt updated means we have nothing to say to the "community" at the
moment. Developers know where to look for development builds, and
thats enough for us, for now. We are not rushers, we have never been,
and we will never be. One thing we will always do, when we decide to
release, is provide the best possible code we can.
Developers are Developing, and thats the important stuff for a
Developers framework. At least thats my own convoluted idea. If you're
looking for a flashy website with a forum, you're probably using the
wrong framework. MooTools is all about the code.
Also, for everyone reading this post, let me say it again: MooTools
will never ever have a forum again. Google groups is working great for
us, and we're very happy with it. I know, we still have no official
way to promote plugins, but the forum was never a good solution for
it. We are working on a solution (actually, i am not, the other
developers are) but we are not rushing. If you need it yesterday,
again, MooTools is not the right framework for you, and you're very
welcome to switch to a framework that suits your needs better.
And now a few clarifications to your post:
the closing of the forums without explanation
Take a look at this blog post, under the section called Offsite
Hosting of Version Management, Tickets, and Discussions : http://blog.mootools.net/2008/6/12/mootools-1-2-it-s-official
and functions in 1.2 that still don't have documentation ($unlink()
anybody?)
They dont have documentation because they're not supposed to be used.
If you have an use for $unlink, you can also understand its code.
Hope this clears up a few things :)

Indeed... What is up with mootools?
No updates on the blog, the closing of the forums without explanation,
and functions in 1.2 that still don't have documentation ($unlink()
anybody?) It's enough to make me regret having chose Mootools as my
javascript framework of choice. The leadership of the project has
clearly dissolved.
I hate to say it but jQuery is looking pretty good right now. Awesome
community based support, hosting for user created plugins, and
frequent updates from project leaders...

What's up with mootools these days? The latest blog post is from
june,
and this user group is so cluttered with other things that the
official news are hard to come by.
I'm just curious as to what is happening with the framework itself,
how things are progressing with the collection of plugins, etc. I'm
yearning for official news you might say :)
