So this is going to be a general reply to many of the issues/questions raised in previous posts...
On the issue of 1.3 vs. 1.2.... I'm actually in the process of porting everything to 1.3 without the compatibility layer. This is no small undertaking in a code base this size but I'm working it as fast as I can. You can follow progress on my personal fork at https://github.com/jonlb/JxLib/tree/moo1.3. If you decide to play with that and want to build it you need to know that I'm also working on changing the build system (as mootools dropped the script.json file which we were using in the previous build system). You'll need nodejs and perl installed to run the build. To run it just run ./build.sh --target deploy from the root of the repo. It's currently in a state of disarray as i try to work the bugs out (just to get it back to it's current level of functonality) but I hope to have this running soon. On the state of graphics.... what is it about the two current themes that you find less than acceptable? We actually have a professional designer who has been helping out with them. I'll point him in the direction of this discussion to see if he can add anything. If anyone would like to help out that would be great. Personally I'm not much of a designer though I dabble a bit. For more in-depth discussion perhaps we should hold that in our google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jxlib Now, for the items you mentioned you needed beyond those... Paginated grid - we actually do have this ability but the example is not up at the moment. We're in the process of moving our website infrastructure to something new and we had to remove most of the interactive examples for the moment. It's another thing I'm working on but has taken a back seat to 1.3 compatibility. You can see at least the code for a proof-of-concept here: https://github.com/JxLib/JxLib/blob/master/www/reference/examples/paging-grid.html I agree with you that the visual indication for sorting and the like are needed and the data-binding is possible using a concept that we call adaptors but there aren't many pre-written ones. The grid itself actually does support some "data binding" through the use of a grid editor plugin. An example is shown here: https://github.com/JxLib/JxLib/blob/master/www/reference/examples/grid_editor.html And finally, thanks for the good words from fractorr and others here. We're a pretty small team of volunteers working on a rather large project and it's nice to know that it's appreciated outside our little world. If anyone is interested in continuing discussions on how we can make JxLib even better please, please, please feel free to head on over to the google group and let us know. And if anyone would like to contribute go ahead and fork the main repo (https://github.com/JxLib/JxLib) and send us a pull request - we'd love to have any and all contributions we can get! Thanks, Jon
