With all due respect, this sounds more like a process problem; figure out what you need from the JS toolkit you're going to use, and go with the one which most closely fits those requirements. For me, depending on the project, that tends to bounce between YUI and Dojo. > 2. Most important: It´s about sharing code, adopting solutions and > making development faster. I'm somewhat suspicious of this, because I think that the JS toolkits have already genericized "AJAX UI" about as far as it can be genericized; UI components tend to be reusable and "shareable" only at a fairly high level (e.g., "select box that autocompletes based on a list of data", "calendar table which allows date selection", etc.), and that ground's been covered pretty thoroughly at this point by the toolkits. What would be far, far more useful and important would be building up a repository of AJAX "design patterns" which include examples from whatever toolkit the author was using, but are more about a high-level view of different types of interaction and explain how the server side of things needs to work to support them. > 3.

That's actually something that really worries me; Dojo is very nice, but it's *not* the best toolkit for any given job you throw at it, and I'd hate to see someone refuse to try a better solution for their project simply because "I only use what the Django admin app uses". Django should be about making it easier for developers to do their jobs, not about telling developers how to do their jobs. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
