Over the past few months we’ve been hard at work building a product that will help mobile widget and mobile web developers better test, debug and deploy their mobile applications. We have started by supporting the JIL mobile widget platform but have been struggling with gaining access to the information we need as well as getting answers from JIL.

Since we believe in the JIL platform and the good that Mobile Widgets will bring to the market, we decided to try and help the community ourselves. We will start posting on a regular basis with any information we think will be helpful to JIL Mobile Widget developers.

The first step is to let everyone know that we’ve created an open gitHub repository into which we’ve checked in Beta 2, 3, and 4 of the full JIL JavaScript API (publicly available from JIL). We did this to allow us to easily see the changes that have been taking place between the different beta releases. The documentation that has been provided by JIL was lacking certain key changes and that was the driving force behind us taking this action.

You can read some more details on our post to the JIL.org forums here: http://www.jil.org/jil-forums/posts/list/307.page

The gitHub repository can be found here: http://github.com/tinyhippos/JIL-API

If you are a JIL Mobile Widget developer and would like to help out by contributing code snippets, advice, etc. Please let us know. We’re currently working on putting together an independent JIL developer community to help our fellow developers get the answers and help they deserve. We’ll blog about that very shortly with more details.

In the mean time, please fell free to leave us a comment here if you have any suggestions.
