gsoc idea adding javascript library / framework in gitweb

Hello everyone ,

 I am chaitanya nalla, a final year undergraduate student from India and i
am pretty much interested in doing the project "Adding javascript library /
framework in gitweb" suggested by respected Jakub, I have good experience
in javascript ,libraries like jquery,Dojo etc. As per the goals of the
project i will use the efficient ,concise ,cross browser compatible
frameworks where ever needed.Also i am planning to create a local library
version with support for configuration and a good documentation.

Using the Dom features of javascript and traversing the whole document object is quite cubersome and error prone .so i want to replace them using well tested libraries that are cross browser compatible.

Emualiting onprogress in XMLHttpRequest :

Jquery and Yui provide only statuses success and error .Even Mootools provide progress but are constrained to some browers only.It can be handled by using $.ajax Transport utility .

I will also take care progressive enhancement,by carefully implementing the basic functionality of the gitweb so that what ever may be the browser version and type , internet connection the basic functionality will not disrupted .

yours sincerely, chaitanya nalla. India.
