You could extract all form selecting and manipulating out of the core into a single plugin, any maybe merge it with the current form plugin. Planned features like the single-boolean-value-methods for checked etc. could be added there. Selectors like :input, :checked could be moved, too. The problem I see with this attempt: Most pages have a least a small search form somewhere, maybe and login form, too. Is it worthwhile to extract the form capabalities and then just force everyone to include the extracted module anyway? Anyway, I'd like to split the current src/jquery.js file into smaller chunks: It's quite annyoing to scroll through that file, searching for certain methods. Maybe parts of the inline documentation and test could be moved to their own files, too. Or everything css/styles related. Splitting the code base could make it easier to identify code that is independent of certain other chunks. -- Jörn -- GMX DSL-Flatrate 0,- Euro* - Überall, wo DSL verfügbar ist!
