Hi,

Well is it even in consideration to switch to jQuery and drop prototype and scriptaculous? Or is there a way to switch over myself?

I am not a fan of prototype or scriptaculous and rather use jQuery how do you guys think of this?

We do have jquery in 1.1 and I think we could save quite a bit of space if we did switch over but thats a lot of work.

Not tons of work -- I am planning to do it. The only things we use Scriptaculous for right now are drag-'n-drop sorting and fade effects. jQuery and the interface library can handle those even better, so I want to switch.

jQuery rocks

Great to hear!!! Glad you guys like jQeury better too. So next version "the switch"? Or put it in the trac when planned?

Can't wait for this...

Yea, the next version will have the switch. But ZenPhoto is a community project, if you figure it out on your own you are always welcome to post it in the forum or trac.

General question: I currently use Prototype (and Scriptaculous to a certain extent - though I have no use for fancy fading and sliding - I just change the page). What are the big advantages of JQuery over Prototype? Enough for me to change my Javascript in all my work?

Well a lot of the things are arguable, but its the easiest to write for, the easiest to extend, and the fastest, among other things like a UI
