Hi Elmar, hi joerg, Hi list,
We've been using the jquery library. to be honest i wasn't very familiar 
with the ext library, but I have no problem - it looks good. I'm really 
looking forward to having some kind of js framework and an apropriate 
api. there was a previous thread which discussed the merits of various 
frameworks etc. and concluded that the user should have the option to 
choose. as far as i'm concerned, I couldn't care less whether it's 
jquery, extjs or scriptaculous or moo. I woud like to see an api which 
can be used in combination with the upcoming extension development 
framework (that woul be COOL i guess). so as far as I'm concerned I'll 
be happy to check out your work and i don't think you should focus too 
much on the flavour of the week - whatever works for you is OK, it's 
more important for me to have a set of connectors for the framework. For 
example, an api for a forms library (any progress there?) would be 
really nice. Exactly which library you'd use for that; I don't care. I 
believe that if you were to choose a particular framework (let's say you 
go with extjs) then doubtless someone will come along and say 'well i 
like that, but I'd prefer to see it done with moo' so afaik it's pretty 
irrelevant, so long as someone is prepared to take the lead here and run 
with it. More important to me is he actual api that i can use for 
development. my point is: why rewrite three libraries (extjs,
jquery and script.aculo.us)? choose the library you deem most 
appropriate and we'll play catch up...
Cheers,
Simon
