Hello all. First a big congrats on your April milestone and I think it's great what you've accomplished, but of course the gem is really the library itself or all of this would just be fluff. (that's a compliment)

I found myself asking why there isn't a smooth transition from the Home page to the various sub-sections. Animating the collapse of the large banner to the smaller one in the sub-sections would make for a very slick effect versus the herky jerky page load that's currently happening. Just a suggestion.

Is it worthwhile to build an official list of companies sites that use/support ExtJS? I know some libraries do not do this, but having a list of companies or even a userlist of supporters beyond the sidenote in forum posts would be of assistance when it's time to convince the manager that they're buying a license and they're in good company. More to do with marketing, but having that list along with the various testimonials in a dedicated page would be great. Again, just a suggestion.

All the best to the ExtJS team and we finally get to match the face to the names. OK, only some. :) I thought I recognised Jack from somewhere else, but unless he has an acting career with HBO, it's probably someone else. You be the judge.

Build it simple, then go from there would be my motto. :)

Yes indeed it would and we are going to build that list. Unfortunately (even if they have purchased a license), I believe we need to have their permission to use their name on our site? I am not sure about the legality of using a customer's name without their permission.

All the best to the ExtJS team and we finally get to match the face to the names.

That guy looks too young and "innocent"!

Well if Octavian Ceasar doesn't fit, how about the guy in this pic (on the right) from "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"?

He looks like Britney Spears' ex... I forget his name at the moment. But the picture is so small on my monitor, I could be way off.

Hmm. Maybe a little ;)

Do I detect a resemblance to another famous Slocum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_W._Slocum)?

Wow, that's seriously using the term "singer" loosely. /:)
