Hi, Marcel (aka noradio) works with Sam. I asked Marcel on #rubyonrails if he could give Sam a friendly nudge to check in with the community through this list. Marcel said "will do". Peter
I have to admit I''m a little worried about the question whether I should consider script.aculo.us to be ''maintained'' or not. A long time ago there was movement to release 1.6.2, and there''s a few good bugfixes in the trac bug database, but not a whole lot of movement seems to be happening anymore, and the 1.6.2 release never appeared. script.aculo.us has some seriously wonderful scripts, and prototype is the base I prefer to use for my web application client side scripting, however I feel it would be a not-so-good-thing-to-do(Tm) to invest and build upon a toolkit that''s no longer actively maintained, and active development on which has stopped. So I''m hoping, a lot, that my worries will be in vain, and this amazing toolkit and its community will continue to grow. If not I''ll soon be asking for advice what to switch over too :-) -- Chris -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Peter Michaux Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 22:14 To: rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Sam may check in soon Hi, Marcel (aka noradio) works with Sam.

Seriously Perter, just keep it to one thread at least. You already know the answer. Same answer as pretty much everyone else on this list.

script.aculo.us sure is actively maintained. I consider most stuff in it working pretty nicely (although there are a few patches waiting, I know, I know), so I don''t feel there''s much pressure to do rush out a new release. Plus, I''m pretty stuffed with a huge project here. Anyway, I should have some free time to give script.aculo.us some love in the first half of August.

I''m not a troll or a jerk. I haven''t tried to insult anyone.> You already know the answer. Same answer as pretty much everyone else on this list.But I still don''t "get it". That''s my problem. I would never trade robust code because I wish that it was Ruby embeded in browsers instead of JavaScript. I wonder if other Rails users haven''t really looked carefully at Prototype.js'' code and are using it simply because it is default in Rails. I was like this for a long time too. Rails programmers are not necessarily knowledgeable about JavaScript too so they may not know. They trust the reputation of Rails'' Ruby programmers in choosing a JavaScript library. No I''m not a JavaScript expert but, with all due respect, it doesn''t seem like there are any JavaScript gurus here anyway. I guess I feel like talking about Prototype.js. -Perter
> No I''m not a JavaScript expert but, with all due respect, it doesn''t > seem like there are any JavaScript gurus here anyway.I''m sorry? You are addressing probably one of the largest gathering of JavaScript gurus on the planet. If you don''t like prototype.js or script.aculo.us, don''t use it. Post on a blog or something, trolling here is not welcome. Thanks. Cheers, Jon
