#dojo-meeting

Neither kitsonk not I had a chance to put together an agenda for this week's meeting

I'm hoping to get the 1.11 issues wrapped up this week, but I've not seen much activity on that yet

Hello... I didn't get time to do an agenda this week.

But I think there isn't a huge amount new/unique to discuss...

dylanks, I think we are setting the end of the month for Dojo 1.11?

for a cutoff for any new additions... then a release candidate next week, bug fixes, and then a release once we're satisfied with that

that said, there's a lot of risk at the moment with the automated tests not running, and some of the tests not passing

I suspect the only thing to do to give any sort of comfort is to run it against 1.10 and see if different/more things are affected

1.10 doesn't have the Intern suite, but yes, more tests failed with 1.10 than 1.11 when released iirc

ok...

anything else significant on Dojo 1. I felt your e-mail was fairly clear on what the plan was.

nope, agreed!

hmmm... got booted... :-S

looks like some sort of netsplit

ok, a quick update on Dojo 2 then... The dgrid team have looked at dojo/compose and the suitability of dojo/compose for the future of dgrid. The feeling was the functionality it is fine, but the API needs some refinement, it is just a bit too verbose and confusing to get lots of common tasks done

anyways, we have alpha's for the loader and core on npm... I am hoping with a bit of effort over the next couple of weeks we can progress those to a beta phase.

we are in fact using the alphas in a customer project at SitePen at the moment, which is also helping make sure they are stable enough

There have been a few TypeScript features we have been championing for Dojo 2 and most of them have been making a level of progress... I will try to collate them in meta, so we can keep track of things

In particular there has been movement on typing loader plugins, like dojo/text and the like in TypeScript, which should make it a lot easier for people to use loader plugins with TypeScript

Also, the team is seriously considering a way of allowing programmatic design time access to types, this will make it easier to do things like mixins (dojo/compose) and make the type system easy to use for the everyone.

that is pretty much everything I had on Dojo 2 this week

On the Dojo 2 vdom widget infrastructure, suggest reviewing Mithril.js by Leo Horie. It uses a vdom approach in an elegant way and is MIT licensed.

yes, Paul Bouchon was looking at it this past week as part of the discussion topic in dojo/meta.

great, thanks!

any other business? I am out next Tuesday, so dylanks will have to lead

I will take that as a no... ok, everyone have a good week!

thanks kitsonk and dylanks!

thanks!
