After first thoughts about a project, where the AJAX-Javascript Library JQuery is linked to OpenLayers at the OpenLayers BOF at the FOSS4G 2009 in Sydney, we initialized a BOF with the workoing title "GeoJQuery" at the FOSSGIS (local chapter Germany conference) this week in Osnabrück.
Attendants were (not complete, I have to find the cards ;-)) Andreas Hocevar Marc Jansen Till Adams Thorsten Müller Volker Mische Arnulf Christl Jan Schorn Pirmin Kalberer (and 8 others, sorry at the moment...)

Several attendants already worked with JQuery as an extension to OpenLayers based mapping solutions. Also the "GQuery (gquery)" idea shows, that there are already some solutions and probalby some interest in realizing something like GeoJQuery (Andreas advised us to contact them). Probably the BOF has been the hour of birth for a new OpenSource project.
Our core idea is not to make a simple copy of Geoext with JQuery. Basic idea is an Geo extension for JQuery, which will be setup with OpenLayers for the mapping components first, but where in principle the mapping component could only be replacable. This requires a very close docking to jQuery.
More informations and more full descripiption of our deas and decisions at the BOF will follow soon.
