So, what is Bitconfig and how can it help configure jQuery plugins?
Bitconfig is a live edit and implementation system for jQuery plugins. You can actually play with the plugin settings and watch the live demo. In a way, you are tweeking the plugin functionality as per your need without coding. You can also save your configuration changes and share your implementation as a prototype with other developers. Once you are happy with your prototype, just grab the HTML and JS code snippets and you are good to go!
It might be a little early to say this, but yes, documentation can become old school!
