Consider releasing as an extension

[mculp]

Instead of maintaining a fork of chosen, have you considered extending it to add the functionality? I was looking for ajax support and found this:

https://github.com/meltingice/ajax-chosen

This seems like a much more maintainable way to add your fork's features to chosen.

Thoughts?

You are probably right about the maintainability, maybe I could look into a way of making Chosen (the original) extendable and make my modifications as an extension.

Also, the current roadmap for Chosen is to make it vanilla javascript (no jQuery or Prototype), which would make extending it probably easier, as the Chosen JS object would be available in global scope.

Thanks for the response. FWIW, we use your fork on a project (thanks a lot!), and it would be a lot easier for us if we could just use the chosen official releases and have the add option and other features you've added as a separate project.
