The module should be on drupal.org

Since most people in the Drupal universe only know JQuery is available, if this module was on drupal.org with an issue tracker and cvs download, you might get a lot more uptake in the Drupal community.

I'd be happy to help you navigate getting a cvs account, etc. if you are interested

Definitely.

I agree. I had never heard of this module until I was searching the web for JS aggregation and finally for this phrase: "ShrinkSafe Drupal". That's right, we need JS aggregation badly in Drupal! And afaik, the JS aggregation feature for D6 has been stalled...

Agreed

I need to apply for a CVS account, then convert the PHP code to their standards. Thanks for your patience.

poke!

I guess this has fallen off your radar.. but it shouldn't! dojo is very cool and this is a nice module. but it is not as accessible if one cannot easily 'find' it..

i would also be willing to help do what it takes to get this onboard with the drupal development folks.

At first I was thinking of

At first I was thinking of posting this module in Drupal's repo, and I even went as far as to gain CVS access, but after doing some thinking, I've decided to not post this module on their site.

First, I have licensed this module under the BSD license which is a much less restrictive license than the GPL. The BSD license is not compatible with GPL and Drupal only wants GPL licensed modules in their repo.

Second, I don't agree with Drupal's coding standards. I am told the worst thing that would happen is other Drupal developers would think that my awesome code was not awesome. Coding standards have nothing to do with great code.

Third, I believe CVS is garbage. The Drupal people need to move their operations to a real version control system like Subversion.

I hope that helps explain the situation.
