Complaints about README file installing your module:

1. It is not immediately clear from the Help Text (the alert at the top of the Drupal page) that jQuery 1.6 is required
2. The Help Text provides a link to download jQuery that doesn't work
3. The README documentation provides a link to download jQuery 1.6 that is also bad

Please update your documentation immediately to reflect the changes on the jQuery website.

This essentially makes the module impossible to use. Invalidating any work done on it. It's things like this that reflect poorly on the Drupal community as a whole.

The link http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?can=3&q=1.6 (featured: there is none because 1.6 is supposed obsolete) should be http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui/downloads/list?can=2&q=1.6 (current)

- Download the final version jquery.ui-1.6.zip
- Unzip the file jquery.ui-1.6.zip
- Rename the newly created directory jquery.ui-1.6 into jquery.ui
- Move the jquery.ui directory into the jquery_ui directory
- Check for the existance of sites/all/modules/jquery_ui/jquery.ui/version.txt

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue.

However, marking as duplicate of #879446: Updated link for jquery 1.6.

If you are new to drupal.org, it would help us if you would search for existing issues before submitting a new one. We strongly advise you search using the drupal.org search facility, because it really is very good. NOT a third party search engine (e.g. Google) as you may well not find what you are looking for.

Sun, thanks for your response.

However, your suggestion that I may be new, or not know how to use the Drupal search feature is incorrect. If you checked my user profile you can see I've been on Drupal.org for quite some time.

I searched for "broken jquery ui link" on Drupal.org and did not find any relevant results, nor issues, nor fixes.

Just out of curiosity, I just now typed in "Updated link for jquery" (the first 4 words of the bugfix you referenced here: #879446: Updated link for jquery 1.6). and it didn't appear in the top 3.

Thanks for fixing the issue. I look forward to a new release soon.

Just a side note: Sometimes it's easier and faster to find existing issues by just browsing the latest issues instead of searching.

The reply sun gave is a stock response ... see http://drupal.org/node/467548

But I agree it's not a friendly _stock_ response. Can we improve this?

Yeah. Sorry, if that response came over insulting. It's surely not intended to be.

I'd be very happy to improve that response template. It's used by many project maintainers, sometimes even multiple times a day, so this would be a benefit for many. Do you have any concrete ideas or suggestions? Feel free to post them here! (After all, we're still slightly on topic with that ;)

I guess we should / could add [stock] link to our stock responses. I started http://drupal.org/node/838682 too and hoped to get some discussion at DrupalCon CPH but got distracted :p

I'll xpost a comment overthere.
