In short; we want to develop MapQuery as a jQuery plugin which (jQuery) application developers can use to develop rich internet applications with maps. Important here is that we try to cater jQuery developers, not so much OpenLayers ones. This means that things sometimes will be done differently from OpenLayers because it makes more sense in the jQuery paradigm.

The API we designed aims to provide all functions one need to create and manage maps, without the ambiguity that results from the various multiple-exclusive properties that are available to power users in OpenLayers. 

I welcome the decision to follow the jQuery API paradigm. There is one
question on my mind. Did you talk about what builds of OpenLayers to
include in MapQuery, or do you intend to leave that entirely in the hand
of a MapQuery user? At the moment I think including a minimal build
would be great, but I'm curious about your opinions.

All the widgets that were in the gitorious repository will be moved to github, but since we had such a great API change, it will take a bit to get them working with this new API. We hope this API is simple and solid enough to be stable for at least a few months, although it probably will be expanded over time.
