I agree that a comparison chart would be great. When I started my quest to find jQuery I remember trying to evaluate prototype, ext, mootools, jQuery (woohoo!), 10 or so others. I wanted something that would show me the overlap and the differences, give me an idea of what they all do generally and what some do more or in different ways. I remember thinking, "I've decided on jQuery but I can go back and create a matrix and publish it and keep it up to date to help others". I haven't found the time yet. And in just a short time using jQuery (2-3 months) it has dropped much lower on my list (with jQuery UI much higher). I'm still interested in it though. Ken Burns effect is on my list as well. If no one beats me to it I plan on giving that one a shot as I've wanted it for longer than I've known about jQuery.
