I've been working on jQuery Mobile for over a year now...since it was in early alpha and I love it. It solves so many problems for me that would be difficult, or time-consuming to accomplish with other technologies. One thing I face with each new project though is the problem of what to include with it. So I've created a new github project called jQuery Mobile Boilerplate. This is meant to be a single place for developers to get everything you'd need to start a new jQuery Mobile project. It includes icons, robots.txt files, as well as an extensive snippets library that developers can use as reference. If you're interested, why not head over there and check it out?

Update:
I've also created a Twitter account for the jQM Boilerplate project. Follow it for updates and announcements.

Can you provide some background? How is this different than that provided straight from JQM?

What are the features? If I use and JQM comes out with a new version how can i differentiate what you have added and what is provided by JQM?

thx

Dave...

The boilerplate project stays up to date with full releases of jQuery Mobile. The jQuery Mobile team only offers downloads of the JS and CSS files themselves. The boilerplate project provides an index.html page with all of the proper includes, along with snippets for commonly used elements. It provides fixes for various bugs such as the iOS orientation change event.

It's basically meant to be a great starting point for jQuery Mobile projects.
