Hi Shawn,
This sounds like it could be a terrific addition to the available
jQuery resources. Thanks!

the need for volunteer help with the documentation was discussed. I
posted a suggestion that maybe a "how-to" type of document may help
those who do not like the reference style of the official docs. I
took
a look at adding to the wiki, but don't know the syntax/formatting
needed (yet). But I wanted to do something about this idea while it
was
more or less fresh in my head.
So, I slapped together a quick Drupal site under a sub-domain to my
own
domain, and started typing. Actually, I had started typing first, but
quickly realized that an approach was needed to allow the community to
offer feedback and/or help out. So, a Drupal site sounded perfect for
this - for now at least. So, the site is at
http://jquery.open2space.com
I have some basic items in there right now, and am planning on
extending
the how-to's as I have time. But I'm only one person and the areas I
think would be helpful may be only a small subset of what everyone
else
thinks is helpful. So feel free to create an account and help out.
The actual how-to's are at http://jquery.open2space.com/howto. And if
you'd like to contribute, I have some quick instructions and
guidelines
at http://jquery.open2space.com/node/2.
Logged in users can also blog about their jQuery experiences if
they'd like.
This is a bit of an experiment for me (the community driven site that
is). I'd like to see the community grow this idea, and even better -
make it so popular that it makes sense to roll back into the official
jQuery site. :) My thoughts right now is that this site become a
jQuery
learning center, with links to pertinent books and blogs, and other
resources for learning jQuery. (Yep I have the Learning jQuery blog
in
the feeds.. any others that should be there? :)
Any suggestions on making the site better are much appreciated. And
thanks to everyone who helped me get as far in my own understanding of
jQuery!
