Now that most of the core dojo-ish stuff has been completed I think that a lot of components/logic are going to start spilling out, and wanted to get a general feeling for what people were more interested in. I'm sort of attacking from easiest to hardest right now. Here is what I'm generally thinking as far as releases go:
alpha-5 (release this weekend probably) - InlineEditBox (done) - Form bug fixes back/forward button movement (done) - Inclusion of the rest of the core dojo html effects into new validator-ish string parameters for AjaxDirectLink/AjaxForm (slide/explode/fade/hide/etc..currently only highlight/fadeShow) - Drag & Drop (in progress/planning) - Either adding PageRenderSupport objects in direct ajax lifecycle (so most rendering works), or disabling the feature completely. alpha-6 - RichTextEditor (almost 0 work on my part..but still requires a little integration) - LiveGrid - Error/Status parameter links on AjaxDirectLink/AjaxForm for specifying html nodes to be displayed when an error(javascript or server) or status message (from server) is generated from a request. - Color picker Most of these are just more widgets taken from dojo and integrated into tacos/tapestry. (Which is finally getting easier to do). I can probably re-prioritize most things, just so long as it's not the LiveGrid. I do have a good source to base the grid on which won't require too much effort on my part, but as it is the most complicated of them all I'd like it to be on a release that doesn't slow down a lot of other things. I don't want to be the sole owner of all ajax components, so anyone interested in helping out would be greatly appreciated! ;) Most of the core things are getting solid enough that cooperative efforts should be a lot easier now. Please help :(. Areas that could use help are: -) More built-in client side validation hooks, or at least more ideas on how validation and form interactions might be able to flow with all of our new toys. -) Documentation :) I've mostly kept the component docs up to date, but the user docs have hardly nothing. -) More components/ideas on logic. -) Anything on the list above (mostly...i will probably be very posessive of the grid , as I plan on using it right away in my employers app, but still willing to work with others on making it fit all needs) -) More demos! The current demos are pretty cool, but don't really show people exactly how much functionality is sitting in there...Maybe more cool stuff with forms and use of Dialog widget.
