The static pages are fine, save for that one I forgot to update (thanks for the heads up on that). > > Throwing the library scripts into the frameworks directory, updating > this configuration file, and, if you want, changing the list of > selectors, is all that you need to do to have your own version > running.

I am aware that the tests can be changed to use something else, but I am tired of fiddling with them. Have you noticed that TaskSpeed's page is just a sloppy copy of SlickSpeed? The origin cell even says "selectors". :)

If not, how do you suggest that the users of your library will build TheirLibrary when you've lost interest? Come to think of it, you'd need to open your actual source as well. -- stefan

Not at this time. > If not, how > do you suggest that the users of your library will build TheirLibrary > when you've lost interest? I don't plan to lose interest any time soon and certainly won't take the app down if I do (more likely I would turn it over to somebody else). Granted, I have let the source in the builder get stale over the past few weeks (and it has been a very busy few weeks as far as changes and additions go). I will definitely rectify that shortly. Perhaps as soon as tomorrow. > Come to think of it, you'd need to open your actual source as well. > The thing is that the source is dynamically generated. So you can download the full build and change it around, but any changes that are to be implemented in the builder (and propagated to the files on the Downloads page) will have to go through me (which I think makes sense anyway). It will likely never be open in the sense of allowing anyone to change anything at any time (at least not on my watch).
