Hi All,

I am a new UKI-fan. I came across it by accident, and have spent the
last few days trying it out. It's wonderful. I have been thinking of
using it in a project I'm working on, but before taking the plunge I
decided to check on the status of the project. After looking through
GitHub and reading through several of the messages in this group, I
was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a couple of
questions:

1) Is UKI still alive and kicking? Is there ongoing work on it, or is
the project dead?

2) If UKI is still alive - as I hope it is - which version of it
should I be using? The version that is downloadable from the official
website is '0.3.8', and *substantially* different from the version in
GitHub.

3) I have seen mention of modules and classes I cannot seem to find
anywhere, such as 'uki.more' (incl. the 'TreeList' class shown in the
online examples), and 'uki.ajax'. Are these things that have been
abandoned, incorporated into the core, or not yet implemented?

I send a big 'thank you' in advance to anyone who may be able to shed
some guiding light! :-)

uki still works but little work is put into it.

v0.3.8 is the version with the best documentation and the most
testing. Unless you want to understand a lot by yourself I would not
use the GitHub version. Hopefully this new version can achieve "stable
& somewhat documented" state at some point, but we're not there yet.

uki.more and uki.ajax are there (in uki-more/ and uki-data/,
respectively). What error do you get?

Fred, thank you very much for the reply. I'm really happy to hear that work in uki is ongoing, even if it's slow! :-)

I have downloaded both the compressed and the development versions of 0.3.8, available from the official website. Both these downloads consist of only a single file - there is no uki-more or uki-data sub-directory. Searching for the work 'ajax' in either file yields '0' hits. If I try to use one of the classes from uki-more (like the TreeList) I get an error that the class is undeclared.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there something else I was supposed to download, and which I missed? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS - I'm quite good at writing documentation. I would be willing to volunteer a few hours now and then, if that would help the project. :-)

Talk to creator about writing documentation. I am sure(hopeful) he'll find time for you. Or anybody who likes writing documentation.

@Maimonides: I will try to send the creator an email.

In the meantime, can anybody tell me, where I can download the 'uki-more' and 'uki-data' packages mentioned above?

There is no link to them in the official website, and the official downloads don't seem to include them.

I accidentally found the URL for "uki-more", which is not documented anywhere, so I'm posting it here for future reference:


It may be a good idea if these links could be added to the home page of the project's official website (http://ukijs.org), alongside the main download link.

I am still looking for "uki-data". Can anyone help?

I think you can find it here https://github.com/voloko/uki/tree/v0.3.3/src/uki-data.
