Hi everyone,

At http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Idea/UsecasesforCoW I have written the use cases of my project at XWiki.

Please send me any remarks you might have about it.

I am planning to implement most of the drawing functionalities with Dojo toolkit, but there are some problems with the differences between handling vectorial drawing in IE and mozilla (one uses vml, the other svg). If you have some advice for me in order to overcome these problems, please do not be reluctant in paying it to me.

Sorry I haven't checked your proposal yet. However the mention of "Dojo" made me think. We're currently using Prototype in XWiki and I was tempted to add JQuery as there is a plugin I'm interested in using. Now you mention Dojo. That's starting to make a lot of framework in the same space :-)

So my question to all of us:

- do we mind?

- is it ok to include several dhtml/ajax fwk? Isn't it going to weight too much? Can we selectively decide to include only some fwk (somehow)?

- will we be having compatibility issues? (fwiw I've checked and it seems jquery can be used with prototype if we're careful enough (http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries)

I personally haven't used these fwks so I don't have any recommendation at all. Funnily I've just come across this article this morning (http://www.mrbool.com/articles/viewcomp.asp?comp=5311) but it didn't really help...

WDYT?

Thanks
