Add Javascript tag to project module list ...

It should probably be called either "AJAX" or "Javascript" -- there are several other JavaScript libraries / effects that have projects.

"for", "Javascript"

it's not (yet) clear what kind of guidelines we'd establish for if a project belongs in this category or not. for example, both project_issue.js and signup.js exist, and add some useful UI functionality if JS is enabled. i can imagine a ton of modules that at least provide *some* JS UI goodness, especially in 5.x. however, it seems silly to put all of them into a "Javascript" category. clearly, y'all have something else in mind. not just providing some JS goodness, but a module that more fundamentally depends on JS?

before i'd +1 this, i'd like to hear a concise statement of what belongs here and what doesn't, something that's unambiguous and easy for project maintainers (and end users) to understand...

maybe i'm over-thinking this.

Lightbox module, Scriptaculous module, Magic Javascript thumbnail action of doom module. Make sense? :P

ok, to be clear: since signup.module does *a little* bit of JS goodness to make the UI more pretty, does that qualify? just trying to understand the criteria. i suspect this will be hard to quantify. i'm not saying the category is a bad idea, but i'm anticipating project maintainer confusion over this, so if someone could spell out some relatively simple and concrete criteria for what modules belong there, i think that'd be helpful. "here are some names of modules you've never heard of, make sense?" isn't what i'm asking for. ;) an algorithm to decide, not a set of training data, is what i'm hoping for... that said, i'll shut up now.

How about this:

If the main purpose of your module is to provide additional functionality via Javascript then you should use the Javascript tag. If your module's main purpose is to provide some set of features and Javascript helps make those features richer, do not use the Javascript tag.

The shortest suggestion I have is:

"Javascript Plugins & Libraries"

Sorry greggles, changing your title back.

(Note, my short description above is intended for the project edit page. This is where people are when they choose the categories and it doesn't offer long descriptions.

Don't include 'jQuery' in the title: that's already too specific.

+1 for anything with 'javascript'.
I suggest "Javascript utilities", or simply "javascript".

thanks for taking care of this, sepeck, i was just about to do the same, myself. ;)

FYI: "active (needs more info)" means "the submitter wasn't clear and we can't make progress fixing this until they tell us what they're talking about". as such, it's not listed in the default views of the issue queues. even though there's not really a patch, we use CNW for these sorts of "still needs to be documented", etc tasks at the end of an issue that's mostly been "fixed".

Hasn't had any follow up in over 2 years. If modules haven't organized themselves with the new category by now, too bad. Marking as fixed.
