A good idea, Howa, however I've been barking up the "standardization", "consistency", "documentation", "plug-in-compatibility-with-various-jquery-versions", "bring-all-this-together-in-a-standardized-format-in-one-location" for months, now.
The response I always get is: Core developers and plug-in authors are volunteers, so no one should expect that they will participate in the work involved to coordinate and standardize the jQuery core, plug-ins, and documentation. Right now, it's just track down info as best you can find it, test it all yourself to have any certainty, and good luck to you. As jQuery and its plug-ins mature, it's getting more and more difficult to put the framework to use. Although jQuery has brought much to the JS world, we're getting what we're paying for as far as standardization and documentation goes... There's time to write books, but no time to develop a database-driven content management system to bring all the information on the core, plug-ins, and documentation under one roof, or rather, one site. *sigh* Rick > -----Original Message----- > From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of howa > Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 5:57 AM > To: jQuery (English) > Subject: [jQuery] Consider a standard documentations for plugins > > > Now, JQuery has many plugins, this is good. > > The bad side is different authors has different taste in writing > documentation, I think it would be good to have a standard way to > write documents, similar the one in the jquery doc., with examples, > arguments description etc. > > It does not mean most authors are bad in writing documents, but using > a standard way can help users to explore the plugin easier & faster. > > Also, it would be good if allow user to comment on the plugin just > like what we have in php.net.
