January Mailbag Q & A
I've been receiving a ton of emails lately with regard to MooTools, jQuery, CSS, PHP, Script & Style, and my opinions on current web topics. While I enjoy responding to these emails, I think it would serve better to have the questions and answers available on this blog. For this reason, I'd like to do another "mailbag" post.
If you have any questions you'd like to ask me on any web-related topic including MooTools, jQuery, CSS, PHP, AJAX, or any else, please post your question below. If there's enough interest, I'll post my responses within a week or so. Don't forget to read my previous Mailbag Q & A.

![Drag. Drop. Lock.]()

What are you thoughts on jQuery 1.3 and the future of MooTools and other JavaScript frameworks in the coming year?

I’m not sure if you’ve addressed this, but Mac or PC?
When will it be safe to drop IE6 support?
How much time does it take to make a MooTools plugin? On average?
I know you pay a lot of attention to the MooTools project. How much do you follow jQuery?
