Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
sun,
We are currently working on a packaging script for http://drupal.org/project/managingnews which is using libraries module. It would be tremendously helpful for us if we could get a tag on 6.x, as it helps us packaging stable releases.
A 6.x 1.0 alpha 1 or 6.x 1.0 beta 1 would do the job.

sunI'm asking myself how we could get a bit more drive into Libraries API development... I need a couple of people that are interested in diving into this area, to solve all of the known challenges -- from which there are *a lot*, and that's also the reason why there has been no progress here thus far.
I'm not even asking for code or patches, only some people to discuss vision + problems.
You know. The original issue that still lives in Wysiwyg's queue, #320562: Libraries API, which triggered all of this, was only able to trigger all of this, because there have been a lot of people that expressed their ideas, but were also open to discuss to the problems. Most of those do not even know how to design APIs or writing proper code. But that's also not required, because handling of libraries is a very complex and diverse challenge that comes with many hidden problems, which need to be ruled out and clarified in one's brain first. One of the few cases and project phases, where code is silver, and talk is gold.
http://drupal.org/project/issues/libraries already contains a couple of issues that need to be fleshed out to move forward with the entire project.
