Hi, Well, Richard, as a Zend Certified Engineer, I am a fan of the Zend framework myself, why isn't there a Prototype integration in ZF? That could help leap foreword Prototype dev, no? Just a thought... To the OP (and the others) : As far as I'm concerned, and reading the spinoff newsgroup and this one for a while now, it is clear that Prototype should simply be a core library, and should absolutely not be bloated by extra user- specific-cased scenarios. Therefore It is normal that, at some point, it would lean toward reaching the end of it's logarithmic expansion, thus having fewer releases. I would hate to see it piled with features that do not apply to my project, at least not without being able to "compile" a personalized version (like Mootools). Script.aculo.us (http://script.aculo.us/) is one project to extend Prototype. Prototype UI (http://prototype-ui.com/) is another one (still at an infant stage) Prototype.js extension library (http://scripteka.com/) is another... etc. My point is that, to actively create a community, there should be projects out there contributing in the growth of the library by using it and sharing it's use back to the community. I am sure that there are plans to improve the core, but I seriously think that it's time to actually focus on extension projects too. Perhaps have them listed (or even hosted) on the prototypejs.org (?) Finally, Andrew did write an answer to that here (http:// www.prototypejs.org/2008/10/7/growing-the-community), so I assume that after all these complaining are done, and after the migration process is completely over, new candidates will surely be available at a more frequent rate. As JFK as said (paraphrased), don't ask what the community can do for you, but what you can do for the community. This was my humbe opinion anyway. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
