Hello Aaron,

I'm glad that you took part in that issue.

You are right of course, but your thoughts apply for any js library. It's 
exactly the 
same for example with jQuery UI, but it IS provided by Google.

Also what you say is true speaking of best practices for _production_ sites.
As for development and testing I always include the whole uncompressed library.
The CDN is perfect for that, because I can so easy switch and test with 
different 
branches/version. (maintainng all branches locally is not good idea)

All The Best,
Mirko

What about a plugin loader ? That's what I do on my projects... maybe jquery 
and mootools Google 
loaders can do this kind of work...

The only way this would make sense is if Google hosted all the MooTools-More 
plugins and allowed you to load 
them individually.

That would indeed be very very awesome.

AFAIK that's how YUI works on Google

The problem with loading them individually is performance; you just don't want 
dozens of includes. Plus, 
managing that is a pain; we add and rename and move files around. It's just not 
practical.

What you really want, I think, is a way to build these yourselves. Luckily, we 
have just such a tool:

http://github.com/anutron/mootools-depender

With this, you can download it from github, pull mootools core and mootools 
more from github, edit a config 
file to tell the depender app (provided as both a php and a django app) where 
to find these, and then you can 
load anything you want. You can load all of core, all of more, portions of 
either (with the dependencies 
calculated and included). Plus there's a JS client included so you can load 
additional components on the fly.

This is how I develop (and why I wrote the app). It allows you to switch 
branches, to switch between releases 
(all this done with git on the command line). It lets you include your own 
scripts... It's really quite useful for 
development and, potentially, in production (though pushing flat, built scripts 
makes more sense there).

I still don't think Google should try and put all of -more up. It's not about 
them being fair or not; it's just not 
a good candidate.

This is exactly, what Google could do. I agree, that nobody wants to use 
another include for each plugin. A possible way to implement this could be:

google.load("mootools", "1.2.4", { more:[Lang, URI, etc.] });

Of course this would increase the amount of time needed until a new release 
will be available, but it I agree with the other folks here. When I can't get 
Mootools More from Google, why should I get Core from Google. I think that most 
users of Mootools are using parts of More, so this should be a part of Googles 
Service if they provide Mootools Core.

This might be off, but why don't you just include the few more-options you need 
in your normal script file? Minify the whole lot to preserve band width, and 
it's only one HTTP request (one you'd have to make anyway). 

Won't an API like

google.load("mootools", "1.2.4", { more:[Lang, URI, etc.] });

defeat the benefits of using Google as a CDN?  And wouldn't it severely lessen 
the chances of your "version" of the core+more module being cached by your 
users?

As I see it, the coolest part of Google APIs is that the user is not loading 
anything -- it's already in her browser's cache. This hover requires that all 
websites will switch to use the same uri to point to the same library.

If every website will link to it's own one of 2^n possible subsets of Mootools 
More, then it will degrade the performance as compared to not downloading 
anything and using just the cached version of library with n plugins.

I vote to add the Mootools More as a whole even if people gonna use only 1% of 
it. Unless you are worried about something different than downloading -- 
perhaps you are worried about parsing or memory comsumption. But are these 
really such high?

Joomla 1.7 Core uses mootools-more.js - So, I think there a lot of people 
interested in a solution to replace it with google-apis
@Aaron You say that mootools-more.js is not a library - That is the concept, 
but in reality it is used like a library: In Joomla 1.7
