Why doesn't mootools just go on a merge bonanza. There's aloads of cool additions and bugfixes in the pull requests... why not, if there's no conflicts - cast a cursory glance of them and if they look okay.. just merge them. If someone at some points finds out something is causing issues, then

I do love mootools, I've been using it for about 4-5 years - exclusively, and wrote code for it and submitted pull requests. The thing is, it's not moving forward. Mootools core developers are too busy (facebooking?) and not commiting other code people are writing and submitting.. so it's stagn

Well this is what I got from Arron: "This is in line with what I was saying earlier. The core dev team is largely distracted or unavailable *cough*facebook*cough*.

As a result of a conversation in another thread about helping jumpstart the MooTools community and development, I thought I would try my hand at refreshing the look of the website. A couple things before I share the links to the mockups, though. 1. The look of the current website isn't bad.

I love it. The big icons (below the logo) are a little too big for my tastes, but that's a personal preference that I'm happy to cope with on my own. More importantly is the fact that it pulls a lot of new content onto the page and makes it clear what resources are available. Some small thoughts:

So, a disclaimer before I answer this post. Years ago, I was a very active developer within the MooTools community.

I'd like to chime in re: the download button. I think you maybe need to have the main download button (perhaps with version number) just download the latest full minified Core, with a link below saying "customise" or "other versions" or something. Even better if clicking the main button started

This is cleaner, nice work! I agree that a redesigning the site would send a strong message. Or rather, that the site as it is doesn't look maintained. There's nothing on the site that gives the indication that the framework is being updated or worked on. Since most people will only see the MooToo

Thanks, Erik. What you wrote mirrors my own sentiment as well. I really feel like the community is the key thing to spark here. Sure, the Core code could use updates from time to time, especially with all the new devices joining the market, but it's pretty mature and has a sensible API. Persona
