I was wondering what specific plans y'all have for growing the community? I've ready as much as I can about this, but it's all a bit vague, and lacking in concrete time lines and milestones.
- http://prototypejs.org/2008/10/7/growing-the-community - http://prototypejs.org/2008/10/7/want-your-code-pimped - And the blogs of the various core team members I'm asking because ***I'd like to help get this all moving in any way I can***. I like using Prototype a lot, but the barrier of entry for other non-experienced users feels quite high. Obviously, putting some focus on how the framework is presented to the community would greatly reduce this barrier. So, what concrete steps can I help with? Some of the things that I'd like to see are: - Make the documentation searchable - Implement developer input within the api documentation website - Add user-submitted code feature, much like Plugins. I know we've got Scripteka, but there really should be something *tied to the prototype site*. - Bring all of the various Prototype resources under a single roof: forums, extensions, "plugins", scripty, UI, etc - Add a section devoted to 3rd-party Prototype education: links to hi- quality Prototype-centric blogs, links to and snippets from Prototype/ Scripty books, etc. On a side note -- please don't take this all as an affront, finger pointing, or anything like that. As an avid developer who using Prototype every day and values the wonderful coding practices it encourages, I want to help it continue to succeed. I'd like to help Prototype on its way rather than expect you to all do the work. If there is some master plan that is already in the works, I'd be happy to help with that as well.
