Hi Jacques et al, there are no real options, IMHO, jQuery is the way to go.
jQuery, like it or not, is now a somewhat established 'standard', allowing corporations to hire consultants and coders for. Additionally, the existing Dojo/Prototype/Scriptalicious codebase is a _mess_ and a lot of work to clean up. Sascha did very good work, also the backend seems much faster with jQuery. I think that a good fact/opinion collection already has happened on the mailing list, so that a decision can be made. Please prevent whatever happened that prohibited not actually releasing 10.04 until today. I suggest that, based on the input so far, the three top committers come to a unanimous conclusion and decide where to go and all follow in line. I understand that a lot of people have a stake in OfBiz, but for the sake of advancement of the project I strongly believe that a clear and quick decision is necessary, even when it breaks functionality. The outcome will outweigh the momentary pain.
