Main reason is lack of time. There are only 3 (somewhat) active core developers at the moment - me, Andrew and Tobie. There's also T.J Crowder whose help with documentation can not be underestimated. Only Andrew and Tobie have commit rights. Everyone has been pretty busy lately, but all of us have been working on prototype-related stuff. Tobie is working with Google folks on integrating prototype.js with Caja (as well as revamping unit test suite), Andrew has been preparing some stuff for upcoming 1.6.1 - events system reorganization, element storage, etc. I have just finished patching prototype.js to work with IE8 (and then there's moderation of bugtracking, sorting out reported bugs, making patches/tests, etc.) Having commit-ready (tested) patches is a great help. Clearly stating the problem, making a patch, tests and mentioning which browsers it has been tested on is very helpful (doing any one of these steps is appreciated too, of course :) ) -- kangax --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
