Hey Chris,
You definitely do a stellar job of talking up jQuery and I'm really
thankful for that. It makes my job as the jQuery Evangelism Lead that
much easier. I really appreciate your efforts.
As for stats, we currently have 2302 signed up on the list so its a nice
number of supporters!

Just to make a comment on the community for a second. I must say that
this is the first web community where I've felt welcome. I don't know if
that's because I've been on the list (thanks to you Rey) since before
jQuery had a version number, or because I rarely if ever see anyone
discouraging anyone else because of their current ability level.
I'll tell you another thing. Anytime I get into a conversation on which
JS library to use (usually over on CF-Talk, but sometimes other places
too), not only do I always recommend jQuery, but I *always* make it a
point to take the opportunity to tell folks about the jQuery community,
and how awesome it is. Even though we're growing, and are probably quite
large (any stats on the number of list subscribers, Rey?) it still feels
very tight knit.
Anyway, those are my blubbery thoughts... I love you guys, man! *sniff* ;o)
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Tane. We really believe we have the best community out there
and nurturing it is a project priority. Empowering the community is
very important and we want you guys to drive the features as opposed
to us imposing things on you. Hopefully, everyone will bare with us
just a bit while we focus on finishing v1.1.3 and then jump on v1.2.
Also, if anyone has real concerns about these performance results,
please don't hesitate to ask us about it. We'll be glad to address
them and let you know whether its truly something that you should be
concerned about or if its something that's more along the lines of
FUD. Our core team is as talented as any out there so we do have the
ability to give you answers based on real-world experiences.
Thanks,
Rey

Again, another good thing about the jQuery community - you guys
actually listen to the community, and our wants and concerns. A lot
could be said for other communities ruled with an iron fist, and
getting nowhere fast.

We know that a lot of you have been concerned about the speed test
results recently generated by the SlickSpeed Selector Test Suite. We
understand your concerns and realize how tests like these can cause
misconceptions about real-world performance to those unfamiliar with
client-side development. As such, the team is committed to improving
selector performance and will begin looking into this after v1.1.3 is
officially released. Improvements could come in the form of an interim
release or in jQuery v1.2, depending on the complexities of the changes
and how they tie into the overall core architecture.
John Resig, jQuery project team leader, will make a decision as to how
these improvements will be implemented and will also make a formal blog
posting about v1.2 soon after v1.1.3 is out of beta. We will
continue to
focus on maintaining a small, feature-rich package but will consider
increasing jQuery's core size to accommodate improvements.
As you know, the jQuery project has one of the most enthusiastic and
supportive communities on the Net and its important to ensure that
every
jQuery developer feels like the project team is listening to their
concerns. We've certainly heard you and will be working to improve
selector speeds in the near future.
Thanks for all the feedback and support.
Rey....
