Hey guys, i started the work to update the Dojo libary to the current version 1.4. And i have to say that it didn't satisfy me to work on every Dojo based JaveScript for a little version update. It will coast a lot of time to test and update all the JavaScript Code. And what we have at the end a new heavy Dojo libary which brings a lot of widget but it's hard to extend :-)
So i have another (maybe better idea). Why we didn't set Dojo and Prototype as depricated and starting to use jQuerry. In my optinion jQuerry is a better invest in the future. There are a lot of Widget/ Plugin's too and it's much lighter than Dojo. Instead of spending my time with updating all the Dojo stuff, i could spend my time to migrate all Prototype / Dojo based Code to jQuerry. What do you think?
