jQuery UI Sprint A Huge Success
March 17th, 2008 — Richard D. WorthThe jQuery UI sprint this last weekend was great. In all we had over 35 participants and got a lot of good stuff done.
We worked on demos to showcase all the UI plugins, opened and closed a bunch of tickets, reviewed and updated the documentation, and continued writing unit tests for each UI plugin. We also had some crucial discussions about API consistency, and simplified some of the code dependencies.
We’re not quite ready for the final 1.5 release, but this sprint was a great push toward that goal. I was pleased to see that we attracted some new contributers. They made a real contribution, and we were happy to have some fresh perspective on how we’re doing, and how we can do better. They key now is to keep this good momentum going.
Paul will be doing a more complete summary post on the jQuery blog later today. But I wanted to at least mention here: Thanks to all who made this sprint a success.

Glad to hear it went well! Any chance we’ll see another beta soon to preview some of these changes?

@Stan: That’s a good idea. We’re so focused on the final release, I don’t think we’ve considered another beta. I’ll talk with Paul this week and see what he thinks.
