Hi Leonardo, I'm not sure I've got the idea... do you think the javascript documentation is THE big problem ? I really don't have an opinion because I didn't go deeper in Trinidad javascript code.
In your opinion the best solution is just continue improving the current Trinidad client code ? As I stated before, my desire (so far) is the combination of Trinidad with a good javascript UI package, this way we could count with another community focused in the client side code.
