I would be very interested in participating in an effort to build up a library of code that uses MochiKit if someone wants to get that going; I ported Cody Lindley's jQuery-based ThickBox over to MK quite a while back and think it would be nice to have similar "widgets" around for MK to help me sell the idea of using MK to those around me.
