Recently I had some not so nice things to say about jQueryUI while still professing my love for jQuery. What didn’t come across in that post is that I am hopeful that jQueryUI will become as great as jQuery.
Now it seems I have good reason to be hopeful. John Resig tells us the good news that Paul Bakaus (the lead developer) now works full time on jQueryUI at Liferay and that a new release is due out soon.
