If I remember correctly long time ago the idea to make some sort of Javascript API wrapper was already discussed / proposed on the list to have only one single Ajax framework and being able choose if you want to use prototype, jQuery or any other supported JS library.

Unfortunately there are impedance mismatches between Prototype/Scriptaculous and JQuery (and I'm sure the other libraries) that makes it nearly impossible (or at least highly undesirable) to make them drop in replaceable for one another - or API identical for that matter.
I have a bunch of JQuery stuff that is implemented in a fairly unobtrusive JS way. But I keep discovering stuff that necessitates me going back and re-writing bunches of it.
My plan has always been to contribute the bones once it is done. But getting there is proving difficult.

In fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for effects? If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to give to the community, we can work it out.
