Topic: Should a plaintext version of jQuery be appended as part of FuncUnit.

Pros
Makes FuncUnit more portable
Potentially easier to use
End-users don’t need to keep track of which version of FuncUnit works with which jQuery

Cons
Bloats the code
Deceptive, and counters the doc
Questionable as to which version of jQuery is being used, if users specify a different version.

Discussed topics:

Future of bit-docs, DocumentCSS, and DocumentJS:

  • bit-docs should be able to be repurposed for any kind of static site generation
  • DocumentCSS and DocumentJS can use bit-docs under the hood for their specific use cases

Including jQuery with FuncUnit:

CanJS 3.5 has been released!

There is no good way to represent brackets

  • Problem: simulating typing [shift] because it gets interpreted as a modifier key
  • Solution: need to support escaping, e.g. \[shift]
