CVS vs. 1.0beta2 and <l>

[Peter Bengtsson]

Hi All,
I looked at the difference between the latest CVS changes comparing to
1.0beta2 (which I have currently installed) and noticed that there were
several changes after a few diffs.

However, some of the .html files I looked at in the CVS still have
invalid HTML. In fact even worse with <l> tags appearing in many places.
  Why?

I'd love to help out with fixing the XHTML to validate. I could also
help out putting in jQuery as a framework to speed things up and reduce
download times.

How active is the JWChat development?
How many committers?

JWChat has its own built in to create different sets of translations.
The code you're looking at are the unprocessed raw html files. Strings
marked with those <l> tags are going to be translated if you do a "make"
from the main directory. Translated files will go to the ./htdocs
subdirectory then not containing those <l> tags anymore.

I don't know jQuery any pointer to get me started?
Personally I was thinking about integrating the dojotoolkit.

It is not very active at the moment as I don't have much spare time
currently. Most of the time I'm working at the server side aspects of
the show. I'm also bugfixing parts of JSJaC (the library JWChat is based
upon).

I'm afraid there's only me so far.

Cheers, Steve

I see. I did a make install on the CVS files thanks to your README and
did a few comparisons with the 20060721 release. No major changes apart
from more corrected HTML.

jQuery is in my opinion better than dojotoolkit. Dojo is heavier and
less intrusive because you have to do more with the HTML to make it
work. It's got a better CSS Query tool called dojo.query however.
Bare in mind that dojo is about 147Kb abd jQuery is 19Kb.

There are some websites about jQuery such as jQuery.com and
learningjquery.com
Here's a random blog article about it with some nice code examples:

And the future? Are ou planning to return to working on it in the next 6
months.

I've personally got an Open Source project called IssueTrackerProduct
(www.issuetrackerproduct.com) and I'm like you, I've stopped working on
it but still actively fixing bugs and reporting on bug reports.
