jQuery Tools
We propose to include the jQuery Tools library in the base Plone install.

- from an author with an excellent track record
- at least the following cases which jQTools provides solutions for:
  
  Tabs (like the ones we already use in fieldsets) + Accordions
  Overlay (aka. lightbox, modal dialogs, in-page pop-ups)
  A sane Flash embedding approach
- ease of development
- standardized set of these functions
- consistency
- Getting out front with the inclusion of a UI-oriented add on for jquery will help minimize the risk
- accordians, tabs, and overlays (popups and help)
- Implementation
- including JQTools would be trivial
- tiny and austere
- add JS and CSS while still staying code light
- a framework for tying CSS selectors to the JQT bling
- A more ambitious implementation, though not difficult
- so that no JS would be required to use them in templates
- form with AJAX functionality
- Deliverables
- simple, lightweight mechanism for using the main effects via CSS
- (or JQuery selectors)
- clean visuals that should work with most page designs
- Advantages
- built on JQuery
- astonishingly small
- good code quality
- Risks
- a new framework
- some important features,
- dynamic control of popup size,
- currently missing
- Ameliorating factors
- part of the Flowplayer project, which has an excellent track record
- responsive to discussion about missing features
- a working implementation of JQT overlay with flexible scaling of the overlays
- proves it's not a risky deficiency
- make use of it in high-value situations
- most sites implement some sort of modal pop-up
- a number of use cases where the tools that jQuery Tools supply are exceedingly useful
- Providing best practices guidance is important, but it rings a little hollow if we aren't making any use of those "best practices" ourselves.

  Add Sticky Note
- this particular library has a high benefit-to-cost ratio
- whether it may be worthwhile to rewrite some existing
- javascripts using JQT,
- fieldset tabbing using the tabs plugin
  - Read this alongside WCAG-related http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2F2008%2FNOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211%2FG21?tab=comment&uname=grahamperrin - on 2009-07-26
  Add Sticky Note
- don't forget that some of us don't use form-based
- I.e., make sure it's hide-able
