So the Library of Congress is funding a new version of Exhibit. It should be released at the beginning of 2012.

This is a long term issue, but the project should probably move towards supporting the new version when it comes out.

I've had a look at exhibit 3 while porting the D6 version. I wrote a first function for using the staged version. However, I couldn't get backstage itself to work properly on my dev machine yet. The staged version demands you to post the json data to a local jetty server at moment. More to be found here: https://github.com/zepheira/backstage/wiki

The scripted (3.x) version is different in its reaction to the jquery shipped with Drupal than the 2.x version of exhibit - it doesn't work albeit deactivating misc/jquery.js. The Inline portion of javascript being output in the header throws a mistake.

So the main issue with getting exhibit3 to work is finding a proper solution towards integrating the jquery parts of the exhibit framework with drupal.

does the new JS Libraries Manager module help? http://drupal.org/project/javascript_libraries

The problem with the javascript is not so much including it into the page header, but that exhibit dynamically loads another jquery.js file which apparently interferes with the drupal core one. If there's an option in the module, which allows to avoid such conflict and I did not see it, please let me know.
