Tiki & jQuery: lessons from the trenches
Jonny Bradley, Project Admin
"I was one of the lead advocates in getting jQuery to become the main JavaScript library for the Tiki project. This involved some diplomacy and patience, working with the community to replace the existing JavaScript tools. In version 4.0 of Tiki, we finally began to make proper use of the powerful features offered by jQuery and its many plug-ins, to deliver a user experience suitable for the 21st century. Each version since has seen an increased usage of jQuery, and now in version 7.0, jQuery Mobile is being implemented to overhaul Tiki's mobile strategy. Also, I will explain why I am particularly impressed with jQuery, and will describe the various technical and social challenges we have overcome to bring this about."
