Unfortunately (again), I've been saying the same thing about the "majors" for years and My Library is now free. Better luck next post!

That'll lead to some fun discussions :) Like calling your band "That Band" and calling your first album "Their First Album". You can imagine the fun when people go into the record store :) Scenario: Guy 1: Did you use jQuery or My Library? Guy 2: Oh, *you* have a library? Guy 1: No, why do you ask? :-) Good luck with it. It will be amazing to have a library that people on here actually approve of. Although, when there's a 10 message back and forth just on what the word consise means, it'll be tough.

The whole point is that it can be built to suit. there is a ton more flexibility coming on that front, including filtering out the XHTML and frames support. And I suppose it has a dual meaning in that it is truly My Library with a few small assists (a couple of functions date to the CWR project). Kangax has been a great help with pointing out silly mistakes and oversights in the past. Recently others have stepped up to help with testing, so it is becoming a (sort of) group effort. I might allow authors to contribute modules as well. I figure I'll use as much of Stockton's date/time/math stuff as I can wade through, but there must be other (good) stockpiles out there looking for a home. Could use a graphics module. Best advice is to start small as I am going to be picky about what I put in there. ;) |
