Keyboard libraries

@keithamus: 👍 on this! Unfortunately, I found later that the author of Keymaster may not be the most interested in collaboration. @dmauro is much more likely to be.

I'm not really sure why Meteor needs its own package manager, and wrapper scripts to work with plain JS libraries, it seems like it's a hassle for you to have to maintain (and convince plugin authors to implement) - so I tend to side with @madrobby on this particular issue. Having said that I don't use Meteor and I'm not interested in forcing my opinions on anyone - especially projects I don't use.

Specifically on the topic of merging/collaborating with @madrobby, @ccampbell, @dmauro and @RobertWHurst. I'd be happy to - as it seems all of our libraries are very similar. I've personally been toying with the idea of improving Jwerty with the aim of supporting (and shimming for older browsers) DOM Level 3 Keyboard Events.

@keithamus: being a full-stack framework, there are several reasons Meteor needs its own package management system.

We're also moving in the direction of keeping up-to-date forks of libraries + Meteor packaging, and have Grunt scripts to make it zero-effort for maintainers to publish to Meteor's ecosystem if they choose to do so.

Anyway, it would be great to see one keyboard library to rule them all!
