In related news, Backbone 0.3.2 was released this afternoon. If you haven't upgraded your copy in a bit, 3.0+ includes Controllers, and more flexible REST persistence for legacy web servers.
Do you have any plans for doing form building capability in backbone? I was trying backbone out and I found that to be a part that I would like to have in there. I was trying to figure out the best way to get it done. I'm thinking something along the lines of what Sammy has:
I'm afraid that there are no plans to add a FormBuilder to Backbone proper -- the idea is to keep it light, and forms are probably best created with your chosen JavaScript templating library in any case.
It's amazing how fast web development can change. jQuery Mobile and Backbone didn't even exist a 2 months ago and CoffeeScript is also just getting popular lately.
Who knows if these new libraries/technologies will catch on but it's an exciting time to be a web developer.
You know, I think you're right. If a project is on GitHub, it's just so easy to jump in and get started hacking. It feels qualitatively different from open source in the old days, a few years ago.
