I am working on a project that is jQuery based, and have been since January. I am all by my self working on this HUGE thing I have been designing since 2005. I don’t expect to be finished till the end of the year, and that is for the version titled BASIC. (As opposed to Personal, Professional, Commercial etc etc) I have a 1.0 out there and pulled it off the market. (Great sales 1st year out) I am working on the 2.0 version now. I was wondering how one goes about getting developers in on a project who are in the same position I am in, spending my free time, making sure there is nothing but free time, and working on my labor love. I have a concept that is needed by business owners, was written for a particular industry, requested by a real clients needs, and every owner of 1.0 today can’t function without it. So I know if I have 2.0 out there, advertised as “jQuery Based Cutting-Edge Technology blah blah 2.0…” I know it will turn some heads.

Point of post, thank you for this deal, now you get paid to work on something you normally need to do but don’t get paid doing. I sure wish I can do that with my project without needing to parse out Copyright Slices to complete strangers/investors. I mean, I am counting on the success of your development to even be able to count on any success of my own.

I placed all my JQuery and JQuery UI script tag URL’s in the database. This way I can switch between the different versions, CDN’s and beta versions in real time. Considering your picking up the pace, good time in my design. Hehehe

If anyone is interested in being a developer of my project please contact me at cory@watchdogserver.com

Hey Corey,

appendTo is not a company of jQuery UI developers. In fact, I am the only person on the jQuery UI team that is employed by appendTo. There are other jQuery team members that are employed by appendTo, and appendTo was started by members of the jQuery infrastructure team, but there are also employees that are not on the jQuery team. I am the only employee at appendTo that is involved in prioritizing work for jQuery UI. I also happen to be the only appendTo employee that is a developer on the jQuery team. Hopefully that clears things up a bit.

The UI widgets and level of control provided is outstanding. I use them in almost every project at work. Glad to see hear you are at a place where you can devote some of your time to jQuery development. I am sure I speak for many developers when I say thanks to all the people on the jQuery UI team.

I spend a lot of time in the enterprise space. I must say that this project has had a tremendous impact on both my productivity and my excitement for building web applications. I love to see that so many other projects, plugins and platforms are adopting it in their frameworks.Thank you for your efforts and Good Luck.
