I had one of those ‘Boy this would make an awesome jquery plugin’ moments so I decided to roll my own.

I also decided I needed to do it right so I could contribute it to the open source community without shame.

I did some some google-ing to find some best practices info and ran into this awesome article.

I thought I would pass it along.

Along with some other great articles about jquery plugin best practices I was able to dive right in.

Here is what I’ve got so far (a work in progress).

If your new to testing, CI, plugin development or just want to see a good way to design good open source JavaScript apps, I highly recommend reading this stuff.
