preparing for gWidgets 1.0

I am finally back from all my trips (personal and business) and I am trying to re-organize my time and priority…and of course one of the item on my list is gwidgets. I am going back to gwidgets dev in order to be able to release asap a 1.0 version. I started by listing the minimum mandatory changes I have to do for this first version, here is my list:

  • remove Base.js dependency,
  • fix IE bugs (gTips and some strange issues on ajax requests)
  • make it works with prototypejs 1.5.1, I wish I could move know to prototype 1.6, it such an improvement…but let’s keep it for gwidgets 1.1, unless we move to jQuery…
  • I18N support, specially in the Symfony plugin
  • html attr ala dojo
  • do not create any a elt to calculate URL details
  • use only one kind of “namespace”: gWidgets
  • gWidgets_Options into gWidgets_Config

Note: it is possible that part of the API will change during this process. Sorry for that.

This is already a big job and I wish I can tell you when I will be able to deliver it…
Anyone want to participate? Let me know, I can host the project on google code to share the development. I received already some fixes that I will integrate as well.

    One great improvement would be if gTabs could execute scripts, that are included in an ajax-response.
    Example:
    If i load an ajax tab-content that uses gTip in his response.. it is not working. (Or am I missing something?)

    I could contribute a bit to your development – althougth my javascript skills are not great. I already found a small bug in your gTabs css-markup – if you setup a google-code project i could submit a patch for it.

    thx.
    Thomas
