I feel Matt Kruse is putting the finger on the right spots, but i would not change the whole roadmap: a properly structured, thought-out plugin repository, and probably monitored by members of the jquery team could be just as good a solution.
I personally really like the core/plugins structure. But in the end, i tend to use always the same, so i guess it is possible to determine which are the most useful ones, and, likely, the ones that newcomers will look after: - thickbox / jqModal - interface - validation form - table sorting - clueTip I have used, once or twice, much less often: - jqUploader (this is not self promotion :) ) - input mask - curvyCorners - jscrollpane - colorPicker - tabs - chili - datePicker - blockUI Then, others should IMO really be part of the core: - dimension - browser - hoverIntent - metadata This is just me, it may be interesting to organize a poll across the community on the most used plugins... I strongly believe in jquery and I would love to help make this plugin repository happen. Let me know if you decide to build a team to implement it. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Priest, James (NIH/NIEHS) [C] Sent: jeudi 14 juin 2007 18:58 To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: CNN and Apple Choose Prototype.

Which to pick? Which is 'best'... Which one works with what version of jQuery? > specs. We would then have a set of standard, official plugins that do > the most common tasks. The features and functionality of these core I like the idea of having 'official' or maybe 'approved' plugins... Ideally one could go to jQuery.com and get everything vs. having to Google and search for things... My recent project used tabs, autocomplete, Interface, and a few tablesort - all of which I had to dig for... I also had to note all those URLs, versions, etc. in my project docs because down the road - who knows if those resources will still be around?? Jim Ce message Envoi est certifié sans virus connu.
