Hi, my name is Andrey Popelo, I'm form Ukraine.
This summer I will work on "Markup previews" project for Dojo. It is for people
who use lightweight markup languages (like Markdown, Textile, etc) in their
sites.

"Ciao" / "Grüezi" / "Hola" / Hello! I am excited with my first world-wide open source project so trying to greeting in many languages! Firstly, let me introduce myself, I am Robert (Robertus Harmawan Johansyah for full name). About the project, I am contributing for GFX library in DOJO Toolkit, 3 dimension graphics in web is getting hot at the moment so we shall not let DOJO be getting behind!

Hello Planet Dojo! I'm Jeff Balogh, and I'm doing doing a Google Summer of Code
project for Dojo this summer. I'm an undergrad at the University of Central
Florida, with one more semester to go. I'm living in Toronto this summer and
working with the DrProject folks, so drop me a line if you're in the area. :)

Lots of things have been happening in DojoX lately, both big and small. I'll leave it to Pete and Adam to talk about some of the widget-based improvements that have been making their way into the codebase, but I'll talk real quick about some of the other things that have landed recently, and some upcoming things to look for.

I've pushed out a small, new version of Dojo Offline. Release notes:

* An optional new feature has been added to speed up the sync process. Currently, we always refresh the list of offline files during syncing; this can be quite slow if you have alot of files, however, and I have added a way to version your offline files. This means that we only refresh offline files when the version changes, which can speed up syncing considerably. More details here.

We are proud to announce the beta release of the Dojo Offline Toolkit. Dojo Offline is a free, open source toolkit that makes it easy for web applications to work offline. It consists of two pieces: a JavaScript library bundled with your web page and a small (~300K) cross-platform, cross-browser download that helps to cache your web application's user-interface for use offline. This is an early-access program, so there are a few bugs, but we have made tremendous progress - it's time to get the beta out the door.

I'm happy to announce the first and hopefully last release candidate (zip) for Dojo 0.4.2. As usual, you can grab your favorite builds from download.dojotoolkit.org. 0.4.2 is a minor patch release to address the most severe issues and regressions in 0.4.1. Unlike 0.4.1, there are few if any new features.

We haven't talked about it much, but Dojo is lucky to have lots of great people working on various projects this summer...and Google's sponsorship was just the start.

I just landed a big reorg of dojo.lang and dojo.string since they were huge. You can get all the gory details on my mailing list post. The low down:

Dojo 0.2.2 is the latest Dojo release, fixing a bunch of bugs. This is hopefully the last 0.2.x release (knock on wood) before 0.3, a.k.a. "The Widgets Release". We should have a new roadmap document available soon. And most importantly, thanks to everyone that gave up significant time on Sunday or Monday (a true worldwide effort) helping out through IRC with testing and bug squashing.
