Roadmap

Roadmap for Dijit 1.0

Here are some of the more important features I'm planning for upcoming releases of Dijit, hopefully all in the 1.0 release.

• Miscellaneous widgets
  • Table widget
  • Tree - DnD
  • Editor - see below
• Form widgets
  • Validation - form level validation so you can't submit the form until all the validation errors are fixed.
• Styling/Themes/Usability
  • Soria theme
  • Wrap up tundra theme remaining tasks.
  • focus - customize LnF
• General tasks
  • A11Y: Editor, Table, other remaining issues
  • I18N - any remaining issues
  • Manual

Roadmap for Dijit 1.1

Wow that's a lot of stuff for 1.0. Don't know if we can finish it all. Some might slip to 1.1, in addition to these features:

• Miscellaneous widgets
  • Tree: DnD
• Form widgets
  • Hints embedded in the form fields (#3286)
  • Select widget - widget w/richtext in the drop down list (no filtering by typing)
  • Repeater widget, for forms with lists
• Layout widgets
  • BorderLayout widget - replaces SplitContainer and LayoutContainer
• Styling/Themes/Usability
  • Noir theme
  • Better popup LnF: fades, and drop shadows
• Automated tests?   (via DOH or Selenium)

Editor Roadmap

Some of these can be deferred to 1.1 if necessary.

• #4070: using editor as leaf in a layout widget tree (Dijit, 1.1)
• new toolbar buttons
  • font and font size controls based on FilteringSelect (#4171) (Dijit 1.0)
  • type selection based on FilteringSelect (main heading, sub heading, paragraph) (#4173) (Dijit 1.0)
  • rtl controls: toggles a paragraph's direction from ltr to rtl (#4174) (Dijit 1.0) (Not part of default toolbar. IBM Shanghai can do this work)
  • images dialog (DojoX)
• cut/paste context menu: need to override browser's context menu on FF so cut/paste works, so we can support undo/redo (#4175) (Dijit 1.0)
• implement tri-state buttons in editor toolbar (won't do, because native controls only report a selection as "bold" or "not bold" even if it's half and half)
• auto save REST style (DojoX)
• auto save to dojox.storage (#784)(DojoX)
• one toolbar for multiple editors (not for 1.0, maybe after, maybe never)
• Editor inside InlineEditBox (assign to Doug to test)
