A very brief article to explain what’s happening in the world of MooTools, and provide users with some links so they can get further information if they feel they need it.
One of the main things missing since the forums have gone into read only mode is the Your Scripts section. We realize this and are working to complete our own plugin directory.
We’re trying to assemble a comprehensive list of all our plugins. As part of this effort, we’re asking all plugin creators to send an email to plugins@mootools.net with the following information:
At this time, we’re only interested in collecting data on plugins which are compatible with the 1.2 release.
This is a temporary measure until we get a more interactive system in place.
I speak for everyone the MooTools team when I tell you that we are extremely happy to announce the official release of MooTools 1.2. After a year of development and six months in beta, you might call us perfectionists. But now we’re finally ready to call the 1.2 release complete and stable. For those of you who have been waiting to make the switch, now would be the perfect time.
Not only has the API been completely revamped, but there have been several significant changes to the site and the way the MooTools community interacts.
With the initial release of Adobe AIR, a lot of web developers (myself included) are starting to get excited about developing rich web applications that run natively on the desktop across platforms. We’ve already seen several great AIR apps popping up all over the Internet, and thought we’d try our hand at creating one of our own.
Snippely was created by myself, Tom Occhino, and Valerio Proietti as our first attempt at creating a robust and useful AIR application.
Today we’re going to talk about Swiff, which lets you combine Flash and JavaScript to do things MooTools can’t do on its own.
