The extension with the logo you love to hate is available in a new version! 1.0.0 marks an important milestone for this plugin. The features are stable, and the code is improved to be more compatible with mootools, and more 'future proof' for new jquery versions.

This plugin is used to load jQuery javascript library, and set "no conflict" mode to allow usage with mootools, and other libraries. No conflict mode removes the "$" operator from jQuery, allowing other libraries to use that operator.

More usage details for jQuery no conflict mode are available at http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries

This plugin does the following

- installs minified jQuery library file from google CDN, version 1.4.2
- supports future versions, and wildcard version numbers, see google ajax libs api
- executes the noConflict() method after jQuery has loaded
- provides instructions on how to use jQuery safely with mootools
- jQuery UI integration + many UI templates (CDN as mentioned above)
- a place to add custom code into the plugin
- REMOVED!! the use of a application variable to flag if jQuery has been loaded (so that other extensions would be able to check). Let's face it, who was going to use that?

In a future version, I plan to...

- make sure this plugin yet more compatible with various environments, with mootools loading at different times, etc.
- have a really good way to detect the presence of jquery, and only then load jquery from javascript
