Hi,
I'd like to come to the Amsterdam Hackathon to discuss the Jmol extension,
and have advice on a few things to develop it (security, ...).
But I'm not yet sure I will be in Europe that weekend :(

Hi everyone,
Magnus was very kind to implement an idea that consists of two parts:
1. use of WebP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP) instead of PNG/JPEG
for thumbnails in Wikipedia articles
2. use of Data-URIs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme) to
inline incluse those thumbnails.
That looks like a cool idea.
I am trying to experiment it on a few pages, and it seems to considerably
reduce the number of web requests (for
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh it goes from 120 to under 40
requests).

Looks good. Makes me wish H.264 wasn't so loaded down with patents. Then
we'd maybe have an even better codec.

Still wondering about the same question every week.
Are there any plans/schedule for updating to jQuery/jQuery UI 1.9 at this
point?
Would be neat to have the new jQuery.ui.Widget related features of 1.9
available.

Yes. Take a look at how the PageTriage and OpenStackManager extensions do
it (LiquidThreads used to but that functionality has not been updated for
changes to Echo so I'm not sure that it still works).
(Just grepping for 'Echo' should show you everything you need.)
