Great progress here, thanks guys!
mikesherov added dependency mgmt
jaubourg working on ajax
Need a simpler tool (not necessarily by release)
- complexity prevents wrong ppl using it
Drupal? this isn’t for their use case (dave imo)
use AMD wrappers? watch out for cross-module variables!
Compat repo for deprecated/removed stuff? – dave
- Separate plugins including compressed versions
- Combined plugin with everything
- “Debug” version with console.warn msgs?
Documentation
Deprecations – dave created tickets, will finish docs
Animation hooks Tween etc. — gnarf to outline
Other things needing docs?
.css(‘width’) respects box-sizing, .width() doesn’t; dimension setters – mikesherov
vendor prefixing
- automatic – ‘boxSizing’ will get ‘MozBoxSizing’
- can create cssHooks for vendor-prefixed, which get priority over non-prefixed
