I *am* curious as to the effort to get us to an official '1.4' release - seemed like there was a bit of momentum a few weeks/months back to get all bugs fixed and get it shipped, but then it seemed to die. Other than that, I think MK is near-perfect and find it interesting how people seem to fee

"if MochiKit fulfills the measure of its creation (i.e. if its current state meets the goals set out for its original design/purpose), then why does it need to be continually developed?" 1) Nobody wants to tie themselves to a dead horse. In other words, nobody wants to take the time to learn Moc

Several people have responded (both in group and out) that MochiKit IS updated regularly. This is great and ... not really news to me; I've lurked in this list for a few months now. My point however, still remains, because a few Google groups posts saying "development is active" does not obviousl
