Hello

I'm new to Jetpack but I lurv jQuery. I'm confused. The official
documentation for the Jetpack 0.6 SDK:

https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/0.6/docs/#guide/getting-started

does not appear to make any reference to jQuery.

Is jQuery officially built in to the Jetpack API? If it is, that would
be quite exciting though I guess the context would require some
familiarization.

The old Jetpack prototype shipped with a version of jQuery. The new
Jetpack SDK doesn't.

Nope. Not much need for it, though.

it's not *yet* available. jQuery can't be included into jetpack by
just copy/paste, there are some needed modifications to it's source
code. But that work is in progress and you should hear some news about
it in the next few weeks :D

That's cool! I'm assuming that it'll be there for walking and
manipulating the DOM of tabs and page-workers?

IIRC, the idea is to go beyond that and be able to query the XUL
elements :D BTW, right now you can add jQuery to a page-worker and
active tab documents, just like you would add it to a webpage.
