Official Agenda:

jQuery 1.8.3 – Today!

  • Last call for patches, but I’d prefer none more patched

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12801

  • Already sizzle issue, ticket closed

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/11290

  • Should we allow leading whitespace in $(”   <tag ..>”) detection?
  • I’m leaning NO
  • If it’s not a literal string, user should sanitize–or better, use $.parseHTML

Create $.select()? Could we just document the Sizzle entry point?

Mergatron status?

The split(s) schedule

1.9 split to occur post-Summit (Oct 22)

  • master branch will be 1.9

Remove deprecated features and stabilize

Complete the compat plugin

1.9 alpha/beta first, incorporate feedback

2.0 split early December?

  • master will stay 1.9 … branch will be 2.0

Ticket votes for 1.9 (and 2.0, really)
