So I'm betting that the vast majority of people in the Lotus community had never heard of Dojo before coming to Lotusphere. After having been here for a week, it's almost impossible for anyone to have NOT heard about it. I'm sitting in the AppDev keynote and Dojo is everywhere. Let's list:

  • Domino 8.5 server: A js library engine will be integrated into the Domino server code (for XPages support) and Dojo will be there
  • Domino 8.5 web: When your Notes forms and views render to the web, Dojo widgets will be available to automatically produce name pickers, calendar widgets, views, etc...
  • Quickr: Dojo's been a part of it since it was released
  • Portal: The ajax components and the widgets that get published have dojo widgets behind many of them
  • Lotus Mashups: IBM's work here is to push standards in OpenAjax Alliance for what a widget, block, flake, gadget should actually be for interoperability...and get everyone working on the same page. But the implementation at the browser level for many of IBM's widgets (for dhtml actions and Ajax communications) is Dojo.
  • Lotus Connections: Not sure whether there's any Dojo running natively in the Connections arena, but there have been lots of demos at Sphere of hooking into the Connections api to pull information from it via dojo/ajax communciations from other environments like LotusMashups, Domino, and Quickr
Welcome to the family Dojo. It's nice to have you on board!
