Project participant Rey Bango points out on the blog Ajaxian today, “considering the churn rate for open source projects, [jQuery's 3rd birthday] is a monumental achievement.”

jQuery started out as a side project of Mozilla Javascript Evangelist John Resig. It was released at a meeting of BarCamp New York and has won widespread support from everyone from Microsoft and Nokia to a wide range of independent designers.

What does jQuery do? Its tag line is “the write less, do more Javascript library” and it’s a favorite of many developers working on cutting edge and visually dazzling designs.

jQuery是做什么的？它的标签定义为“写更少代码，做更多事的Javascript库”， 并且它是许多在尖端方面的开发者们，以及炫丽视觉设计师们的最爱。 想来些例子吗？请参看我们广受欢迎的博客的那些评论， 以及Douglas关于jQuery的20个最具实用和创新的应用。

If you’re a developer and you haven’t tried out jQuery yet - you probably should. As Jennifer Stuart wrote when she finally did this Spring, “Why I didn’t jump on this bandwagon sooner, I’m not sure, but I am kicking myself for it.”

如果你是一个从没有尝试过jQuery的开发者，你或许该试试。 就像Jennifer Stuart在她今年春季写到“为什么我没有及时跟上潮流， 我不清楚，但我一直因它自责。”

With the addition of the jQuery code to the nonprofit Software Freedom Conservancy, companies using the code are far more free from fear of lawsuits for using it. For details on that development and a number of new technical additions to jQuery, see the announcement on the jQuery blog.
