I did some improvements to the JS2 documentation based on some initial feedback of early adopters ;) The documentation has been on the mediaWiki.org site here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/JS2_Overview
== Who is this documentation for? == * This documentation is for any extension developer that uses javascript and gadget developers. * With some minor changes to how your extension includes javascript; it can greatly improve initial page load time (by minifying, gzips, and grouping javascript requests) * With more effort you can build javascript interfaces that are loaded on-demand and package all localized msgs into the JS. This can really improve perceived performance even on 'cached scripts' pages by keeping initial page js parsing and loading to a minimum. * If these interfaces are reusable and generally applicable to more than a single extension, we can ideally package them in a central location making it easier to build off of each-others js components. (similar to the jquery.ui, jquery plugins and the development path for the new usability tool-bar and media components). * I would not recommend switching over your js calls until an official release contains the new code ;) ** (Once you do update your js include calls, you can still disable the script-loader to get what you had before) * Now would be a good time to start testing and give feedback. peace, --michael _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
