Hi All,
I already included a link to Part One of this post in a thread below but I've just written Part Two and would love to get some feedback from other jQuery-loving Drupal developers. It gives a brief overview of the history of jQuery in Drupal, discusses jQuery Update module and the difficulty of bridging separate release cycles, looks at best practices for writing jQuery and provides a brief overview of AHAH and Drag & Drop in Drupal 6.
If nothing else, you'll probably at least want to make sure I didn't completely misrepresent your efforts (I certainly hope I didn't!) if I mentioned them in the discussion ;-)

Yes, live query is pretty amazing. It attaches all behaviours automagically to new post-DOM-loaded content and removes them if elements become unmatched from selector expressions. It is great to have a solution built in to Drupal though so as not to have to rely on a jQuery plugin. But maybe it will get into core eventually...

As long as the author has no problem with it I dont see why not unless someone else as a good reason, not that anything is wrong with the current method though.
