Hmm... I don't see any real benefit for having sections of the web site draggable using jQuery-UI except, perhaps, for the ability to drag the Quick Reply Editor (QRE) when composing a reply. Not sure if this "minor goodness" has much value compared to the added overhead of adding the relatively sizable jQuery-UI Javascript library. Of course, this is more code to maintain and another JS library to maintain.

I doubt anyone here will use "draggable" in any useful way. Will let this experiment run for a bit longer but I may turn it off sooner than later.

Better, I think, to add some VueJS - Bootstrap apps or components to the site.

Of some minor interest to note is that the jQuery-UI libs currently override the site's Bootstrap tooltips. These tooltips look good in some places and not so good in others, and also I'm having some trouble controlling the tooltip format (for example, getting rid of the shadow box) in the Advanced Stats. So, I'm not a huge fan of these jQuery-UI tooltips. This is another reason to remove the jQuery-UI libs from the site, sooner than later.

At this point in time, jQuery-UI seems more value-subtracted than value-added compared to other JS libs and frameworks.

redland-config

redland-config(1)					      General Commands Manual						 redland-config(1)

NAME

       redland-config - script to get information about the installed version of Redland

SYNOPSIS

       redland-config [--cflags] [--help] [--libs] [--libtool-libs] [--prefix[=DIR]] [--private-libs] [--version-decimal] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

       redland-config  is  a tool that is used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
       the Redland RDF library.

OPTIONS

       redland-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of redland on the standard output.

       --version-decimal
	       Print the currently installed version of redland as a decimal integer.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a redland program.  This excludes linker  arguments  used  to	build  the  librdf
	       shared library.

       --libtool-libs
	       Print the flags that are necessary to link a redland program with libtool.

       --private-libs
	       Print the linker flags that are necessary to build the librdf shared library.  This option is not usually needed because the librdf
	       shared library has already been dynamically linked against these libs.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a redland program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that redland was built with when computing the output for the  --cflags
	       and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
