Any efforts on jQuery also Flot

Hi there,

searching for charting options I've found Flot starts to be very
atractive.

It has jQuery as requisite so I've started to look if one can use
Prototype/Scriptaculous *and* jQuery.

So I end reading this:

http://jquery.com/blog/2006/08/20/why-jquerys-philosophy-is-better/

I like Prototype a lot but regarding to that doc and the API it
seems to me jQuery is going to be a lot smalltalkish.

So I wonder, is anybody here investing some effort on jQuery?
Even if not, is anybody willing to cooperate in some squeaksource
pac the mapping of jQuery using the Seaside Scriptaculous mechanism?

And returning to the charting subject, there is any effort on Flot?
Any willing to wrap it?

thanks,

Sebastian Sastre
PD: there is no concern about compatibility issues, they have made utils so
jQuery can work without conflict with Prototype in the same page at the same
time.

One of the goals of Seaside 2.9 is to get the whole JavaScript
machinery that is not specific to Prototype into a separate package.
However this didn't happen yet as other clients are missing at the
moment.

Oh that's great. Now I found unfortunate the name of Seaside
mechanism to make/serialize javascript is coupled with the first library
they mapped: Scriptaculous. I think it deserves more: a name of its own.

Then dependent packages will be mapping using it, so Prototype and
Scriptaculous will become the firsts and others are able to come as you
said.

I'm happy with that news anyway,

Cheers,

Sebastian
