I originally named it jQuery.ui.carousel however I later learned the guys on the jQuery UI team don't want people using their namespace so I changed it to jQuery.rs.carousel by which time it had a number of forks / followers on GitHub so I didn't change the repo name. You call it as jQuery.fn.carousel because that's how the jQuery UI Widget Factory works; the namespace is only added to the constructor, jQuery.rs.carousel, and not the jQuery method itself.

If you want to re-namespace to avoid conflicts with other libs you can:

$.widget('rs.rscarousel', $.rs.carousel, {});

That way the constructor will be found at jQuery.rs.rscarousel and the jQuery method will be jQuery.fn.rscarousel.

Hope this helps.
