Issue Summary

Coming from #681034-6: Download Mechanism,

I just realized that it won't work forever to point new people who would like to help to existing issues and have them read them.

I guess that, thus far, the essentials live in the following isues:

1) The original #320562: Libraries API (Wysiwyg), initial considerations, bound to editor libraries only (but even with that limitation already a challenge).

2) #315100: Allow to add JS/CSS libraries (sets of files, settings, and dependent libraries) (Drupal core) also holds lots of details about the challenges of handling external libraries; thus, that core feature is not to be mistaken with Libraries API. (perhaps we should clarify this much further on the project page, too)

3) #719896: Add a hook_libraries_info() (Libraries), most recent considerations.

Comments

#1

Status:active» needs work

I've started a new Documenation page: http://drupal.org/node/935162
It's rather verbose already, but better than reading all the 10 different issues. Doesn't go very deep yet, though.
See also: #935092: Where to put general design ideas and API decisions?

#2

Version:7.x-1.x-dev» 7.x-2.x-dev

Currently the documentation page from http://drupal.org/project/libraries goes to http://drupalcode.org/project/libraries.git/blob_plain/7.x-2.x:/README.txt

Rather than the new documentation page.

Would be great if this were updated too.

#3

Issue tags:+documentation

Thanks for noticing! I fixed that and also fixed up the CHANGELOG link.

#4

Status:needs work» fixed

Marking this fixed. The added documentation was a good first step.
If we have a specific idea on how we can improve the documentation, we can always a new issue.

#5
