Yes. People need to update parts of a page, and some want colorful special effects, the more the better. Also, some Javscripts make JS more like Python, which helps in programming it. Well, JQuery is by far the most popular on the list, and moderately more popular in the wiki poll, so let's assume we'll be adding it alongside Prototype/Scriptaculous. We'll need a maintainer to package it up for WebHelpers, and also to help decide the common Python interface to all these libraries. Are there any important features not in JQuery that we should have? Robert Leftwich offered to maintain YUI. It has some popularity among Pylons users so we might as well. Let's have the JS maintainers and those who wish to help design the Pylons Javascript API subscribe to pylons-devel, and we can discuss it there. http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-devel There was a glowing recommendation for Dojo, but it will need a maintainer if it's to be included. ExtJS can be added later if enough people clamor for it. (I think Mark Ramm was the only person who said he likes it.) But I was struck by Christoph Haas' comment, "[With ExtJS] you will write your application in 90% Javascript and 10% pylons." Somebody who's writing a 90% Javascript application probably does not need Pylons, just a static webserver and something for database queries. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
