Jen,

Wow, interesting news! If you're happy with your jQuery porting efforts so far, I say +1.

I by no means think this is a necessary switch--Fluid plays nice with other toolkits--but if you're as happy with jQuery as we have been for our Fluid work, it makes sense to me. We'll be working with the jQuery community to ensure their UI library is made accessible, too!

Eli Cochran and I will be covering how to use jQuery in our Fearless JavaScript workshop at the JA-SIG conference.

Hi all,

I'd like to propose that we migrate from dojo to jQuery as of uPortal 3.0. jQuery seems to be lighter weight, easier to use, and much faster. jQuery is also being used by the fluid reorderer, so performing this migration will prevent us from needing to include two javascript toolkits in the new uPortal 3.0 theme.

Unless anyone has any objections, I'd like to try and check a working implementation into the up3theme branch sometime in the next day or two.
