Dojomino

1 - It was great to hear that you and Viktor will be meeting up to see what you can do about having a single Dojo for Domino deve effort.

I also enjoyed your NSFDB2 session as it's something we're very interested in doing in the the near future.

2 - Lance, Rich and I wanted to meet you at the Gurupalooza but we couldn't find you after. :(

You mentioned something about speaking at another conference and comparing your dojo/domino stuff to Ext.nd and we wanted to see how we could help. Email me and let me know what we can do to help out in this.

3 - it looks like promising, interesting stuff! hopefully you find the time to write a functional description for us 'lesser scripting gods'

4 - @Jack,

Darn, I would have loved to talk through this with you. I did mention it to Nathan and he was pointing me your way.

In short, my goal is NOT to paint a picture of "this one is good" or "this one is bad". In fact, it's really to point out that you can do great things with both, that they have a lot of similarities in the grand scheme of things, and that in 8.5 you should have some choices for what you'll implement.

I'll ping you with an email to let you know specifically what I had in mind.

5 - Any update? I'm really curious to see these widgets :)

6 - @Darren,

Yes, I should have put that in the post and will follow up on that.

@Patrick,

The design goal for all of our widgets is to make them exceptionally simple to implement. For each of them, we've considered the types of parameters that the developer might want while providing default values for those parameters so you don't have to include them at all if you don't want to.

As an example, let's take a name picker (we have both a single name picker widget and a multi-name picker widget). You select which widget to apply to a names field and that would be it. However, you'd also have the following optional parameters you could apply:

directory="mydirectory.nsf"
lookupPeople="true"
lookupGroups="false"
lookupPeopleAndGroups="false"
peopleView="($VIMPeople)"
groupsView="($VIMGroups)"

If you don't provide any of those parameters, we'll use the default directory (as the server reports it), do lookupPeople only, and use the default view for person lookups.

If you provide parameters with different values, we'll use them.

All these parameters are simply added in the HTMLAttributes formula of the Notes field you want to apply the widget to. That's it.

7 - @Darren,

Yes, I'm excited to see exactly what Victor has done, and I'm really looking forward to collaborating on it.
