Dirk,
Thanks for the pointer, and you're right, the author of that page
convincingly shows that motools.js is pretty powerful.
However, that comparison is 5 years old (and JQuery has grown in
functionality and market share enormously in that period). The author
states that even in 2009, the JQue
@Terry,
All the JQ features you mention (documentation, cross browser
capabilities, ajax and json support) are also available for mootools.
For those of you who are interested to read an excellent comparison article

Hi Ichiro,
As a long-time JSPWiki user (lately mostly lurking on these lists,
though), I strongly endorse your idea of migrating to a JQuery interface.
I, in fact, have more or less done that - not in a generalized way, but
in a way that's specific to my own needs.
I did this for a number of re
I've added a new issue for this, JSPWIKI-811 (

Hi Ichiro,
I do not dispute jQuery's popularity.
If switching to jQuery helps in having in broader developer base for the
javascript, I'am all for it.
Anyway, I prefer to first switch to the new template and the rewritten css
& js. Refactoring to jQuery will be more easy then.

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for all of the information on Mootools' history and plans for
the future. I think the question of Mootools vs. jQuery can be answered
fairly easily, based on one question: how important is it for developers
and users of JSPWiki to be able to modify and augment the JavaScript

Hi,
As Janne pointed out, mootools was chosen as it was the more performant,
light-weight and feature-rich js framework at the time we started with
javascript on JSPWiki.
Today, mootools and jquery are feature-wise comparable, but jquery
definitely has won the popularity contest. I still prefe
Hi,
jspwiki-commonstyles.js uses mootools, at least for some of the effects;
posteditor (non minified source:
http://icebeat.bitacoras.com/public/mootools/posteditor/) is also based on

Hi Janne,
I do agree about the "over-popularity" of jQuery, and while I hardly call
myself
a JavaScript expert I probably know as much jQuery as I do JavaScript, so
guilty as charged.
But it does seem the world has almost entirely moved to jQuery. Not
that I see any downside to that really -- the
Simply put: JQuery did not exist at the time as a viable alternative, and Dirk,
who wrote the templates, just was more familiar with Mootools. Since then,
nobody has cared enough to change the default template to use anything else
(despite several people promising that they'd contribute a new
