Primarily my reasoning is based on the added requirement of loading mootools into the page. (i.e. making an additional resource call). This worry is not so prevalent as I use a resource aggregation / cache tool for JS / CSS anyhow. I use frameworks only when needed to save on development time / resource load. I don't have a need to modify the JSF at the moment and the size of the JSF feels trivial, so reading-in mootools for this reason alone feels silly / awkward.
Secondarily, I dislike giving the $ operator to mootools w/o a great reason to do so, as jQuery is usually my framework of choice when I use one. I have nothing against Mootools, it just feels unusual to require it for an unrelated project to handle (what feels like) a trivial task. I also understand that my reasons for wanting a purely APE implementation of the JSF are likely trivial in the wider scope of the APE project as a whole, which is why I suggest crowd-sourcing the development. :) All-in-all though, this won't stop me from using APE in it's current state.. It's all preference and I'm happy to take things as they come. You guys are doing a great job and I wouldn't want to ask more of you than you're already generously giving to us. :) Lorren Biffin (425) 522-2673 http://twitter.com/lorrenbiffin On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 6:37 PM, John Chavarria <[email protected]>wrote: > Could you bring your reasons for such a thing? > > Thanks :) > -- > John Chavarria - CEO / Designer > Weelya - improve the Web > > +33 (0) 4.67.169.778 > +33 (0) 6.43.56.00.83 > > Twitter : @jchavarria / @weelya > > 32 Rue du Faubourg Boutonnet > 34090 Montpellier > > > http://www.ape-project.org/ > http://www.weelya.com/ > > > > On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 3:16 AM, Lorren <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Ideally I would like to see an APE library independent of any >> particular JS framework. >> >> Maybe this could be crowd-sourced to the APE community as a Weelya >> backed initiative?
