Suggestion: Optimizing jquery and leaving mootools

First thing: Would be nice to have a option to load the jquery from a cdn, to optimize the load times, with a fallback to the local copy.


Second: Avoid mootools. As long as I know, Joomla is departing from it. Use jquery instead, you are already using it example: window.addEvent on com_flexicontent/views/field/view.html.php

Hello

we could, and i guess we will
just
in J3.x this is handled by Joomla and many use an extension like jQueryEasy to handle loading of it since multiple extensions are doing it

Yes,
this is a work in progress, done about 50%,
will do before J3.5 is out, or maybe much earlier

Actually I had some problems with jquery easy (I was thinking that because flexi load some jquery libraries just after that, jquery easy didn´t interact properly) but if you have manage to make themm work at the same time I could take another look
