This jQuery plugin was created by Chris Coyier, based on work by Remy Sharp, and improved by Doug Neiner.
Having issues? Please don't email me, instead open a bug ticket on github! Why? Because many people other than myself actively maintain this project and it helps to keep everything together.
During my involvement at International Student Volunteers, I was provided a list of special effects widgets that were required for the catalogue section of the website. I proceeded to track down and compare assorted jQuery plugins that would accomplish the task, usually looking for the most efficient and easiest to use solution (requiring minimal syntax).
I ended up forking and extending the functionality of the AnythingSlider project, in addition to optimizing how it handled some of the effects by moving them to CSS and programmatically adding html wrappers into the DOM instead of requiring the developer to do so manually. Eventually my fork started to garner attention and since I was actively providing feedback and fielding ticket requests, my fork eventually became the primary fork (due to it's continued activity). I ended up merging several open pull requests from other forks and the project currently retains an extremely healthy development life. However, since I no longer needed any additional functionality with the plugin, Mottie has become the primary maintainer from the plugin. In an attempt to reduce confusion however, we agreed to retain my fork as primary and I gave him collaborator access to it.
