Written by David Walsh on 4 October 2009 – Posted under all

The foundation of every great open source project is its community. The MooTools Team creates the base framework code but it’s all of you that take the framework and build outstanding plugins. Here are some great plugins and tutorials that have been released recently.

MilkChart

MilkChart is an outstanding set of MooTools classes that create robust charts from your static data. Chart types include column, bar, line, scatter, and pie. MilkChart uses the HTML5 <canvas> tag and is only supported on browsers other than IE.

Request.Twitter

MooTools Core Developer Scott Kyle (appden) created Request.Twitter, a very small MooTools class to retrieve tweets from Twitter. The class is flexible in that you may define the URL to query so you may retrieve user statuses, search terms, etc. Request.Twitter is an extension of the Request.JSONP class in MooTools More, showing the power MooTools' valuable inheritance system.
