I guess we need some kind of framework for the website as a start? So we should start working on that probably.
I honestly think we should make our own "jQuery".

All the libraries out there such as jQuery, Mootools, Dojo, etc are just, in my opinion, a waste of space.
We won't need all the fancy stuff they offer, we'll probably just need DOM selection/manipulation, event binding and some Array/String prototypes.

Therefore I think we should make our own which would be much smaller with the functionalities we need.

Also, I saw an article about jQuery, they basicly prooved that jQuery was very slow compared to normal dom selection, because of it's enormous API.

Code:
var element = $('#myId'); // jQuery object, parsing through string to determine selector...

versus

Code:
var element = document.getElementById('myId'); // Native code, built into the browser.

Even with a custom library, there is still unneeded overhead involved. Instead of creating 'the next new jQuery', create a modular library with utilities for common functionality (AJAX, form validation, etc), and have one 'core' object that will load these module dynamically. Slightly higher startup time (though you could implement a preloader, for modules you know you'll need in advance), but lower overall overhead, and a smaller download size (modules don't need to be downloaded if they are never used).

Well I have been out at the Doctors all day. So sorry for the late reply, I haven't ever used Github, but I did manage to make an Organization and a repository for us.

You can see it here -> https://github.com/TheHelper/TH-HTML5
I am sure you guys know way more about this stuff than me but I am still trying to figure it all out.

Just post your Github Username below and I will add you to the Organization, the proper team and that should give you access...
If I am doing this wrong in any fashion, please alert me. :)

I'm wondering, how is this project called?

I'm thinking we could create a json object which would be the core of the project. Just append your module to it using objectName.moduleName = (...). Is it a good idea? What would be 'objectName'?

Or we could get a FTP pointing directly on the websites directories, with restricted access. I find Github really complex!!

That would make it more difficult to manage larger projects, and keep the source up to date between everyone.

Then you have to teach us how to use it. :)
Or give us some good resources, what I found on github's website wasn't too good.

I'm actually still learning most of it myself. Google around though, and I'm sure you could find something.

@GetTriggerUnit

Yeah that is definitely the way to go. This way we can locate bad code easier, and comment on each others work before we submit it.

EDIT: I think I'm going to make a really basic index.html. Just so noone wastes work :p
