Hi Jean-Michel,

Thanks for initiating more discussion.

At the San Fran plone conference we actually had a lot of this discussion
on using jqueryui. Basically, we agreed that we need to start supporting it
but how we do it wasn't quite worked out yet. We're still all really turned
off by the themeroller stuff and how tied it is to it. Additionally, we
have to identify where we'd need it even in plone core. One thing that
jqueryui does very well is drag and drop.

So is this possible to work on sunburst to make free of !important and more
> friendly with others CSS like jqueryUI one

I don't think there is necessarily any technical reason for all the
!important statements. Someone just needs to fix it

We are on 1.4.4. I will asking if someone would upgrade to 1.7

Yikes, yah, we need to upgrade.

As for plone's widget situation, it turns out jqueryui's widgets aren't
really that good(at least IMO). Alexander limi and I(mostly Alex) have
started looking at improving plone's widgets. Alex started a google doc to
find the best of bread widgets:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ala3ew8gFf2-dEU4TmtoLUJPbUJIR2dzdDdQaUtEZUE#gid=0

I started a couple projects to start implementing some of this:

https://github.com/plone/plone.widgets
https://github.com/plone/plone.app.widgets

I would like to start a collective.z3cform.jqueryui to work on a set of
> z3cform widgets where we will be able to have calendar & autocomplete.

Perhaps you could take a look at what I have done thus far with
plone.app.widgets. It's using the chosen widget which is very nice. For our
date widgets, I'd like to see a hybrid between http://datejs.com/ and a
conventional date selector but we're still working that stuff out.

We'd very much appreciate help and more feedback. We're trying to schedule
mid-day on Fridays(US timezones here) to work on it together so if you're
around in IRC maybe we can work on it together.
