I see your request in #27 to add select2. Here are the steps I took to do that:

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Call .\NewBowerLibrary.ps1 select2 from PowerShell (passing the name of the package on Bower)
  3. I'm then prompted for the library's friendly name (in this case, it's just capitalized "Select2")
  4. It opens the files for the new package
  5. Enter the URL to the release notes and license
  6. Update the .dnn manifest:
    • Fill in the description (based on the README on GitHub)
    • Fill in the CDN URL in the .dnn manifest
    • Uncomment the jQuery dependency in the .dnn manifest and set to the correct version
    • Look to see that there's a minified version of the JavaScript file, so replace select2.js with select2.min.js and update two references in the .dnn manifest
    • Since there are additional CSS files (beyond just the JavaScript file), I zipped those in a Resources.zip file and added <component type="ResourceFile"> section that I copied from another library.
  7. Commit to the Git repo
  8. Push

Then, a build will be created on http://teamcity.engagesoftware.com/, and shortly thereafter a release on the project's releases page
