The slider property is probably just using the new slider input type in the HTML spec so it's possible for your editors to simply just slide to increment or decrement a value.
By enabling range you're changing the input type from "number" to "range".
So as mentioned this property is only for use in the Umbraco backend. It has nothing to do with creating a carousel so therefore I say go with whatever carousel script you would like :) And even if it did it would only work in the backend context...you would still need to make a carousel rendering on you frontend yourself.
I have heard a lot good stuff about slick, which you could also consider using.
any docs/info on the new slider property editor?
i'm assuming this is a slider/carousel but can't find anything about it. thought it'd be here but not. Anyone know what the options mean?
Enable range
Initial value
initial value 2
minimum value
maximum vlue
step increments
orientation (well, I think I can figure that one out)
or should i just use the bootstrap carousel if this isn't ready for prime time?
thanks

You can read more about the new attributes that can be used with the "number" input type here http://diveintohtml5.info/forms.html#type-number
And you can read more about using range here http://diveintohtml5.info/forms.html#type-range

I hope this helps.

Hi Jan, that slider is pretty cool then but slick looks *slick*. Thanks very much for another great clue.
Hi Matthew
Yes indeed it does - Can't wait till I get the chance to use it on a project myself :)
