I really like that my liked framework is now eager to update design of the flahship of Mootools, I cant wait for it. On the first look at Mootools Website it really looked liked it is no longer maintained. And im sad because I started to like Mootools now, though i'm just a newbie. I am proudly talked about mootools in my fellow workers and young students but i dont think they like the websites. BTW, I really liked JQuery in my school days because of its dedicated UI, which is JQuery UI. But like other newbie. I tend to be a copy paste addict and its really not fun at all and thats why i really dont learn javascript and what i learned is to copy and paste and guess, guess, and guess. Maybe for the new design of Mootools website, it will be nice if the documentation will be more obvious on how to work with it (real life example or a link to some jsfiddle/demo page of mootools and not just code with colors). And also a list overriden methods and available methods that has been inherited by the child class (though its already stated on top* of the documentation, i think a back track link will be more nice).
