From my experience, and form talking with others around here putting up
Exhibits, the primary requested new features/enhancements in 3.0 would be:
- Documentation for non-trivial functions. It's common to want to process the
data before it gets displayed in a facet, lens, or view, which I've
accomplished creating simple mapping functions inside the Exhibit framework.
Documentation on adding custom mapping functions and how to use existing
expressions and functions is needed.
It doesn't meet the needs of advanced users, but if you just want to
introduce a newcomer to exhibit, a fantastically detailed tutorial is
available from some users at the Ensemble project, which holds workshops
teaching people how to use exhibit:

- Editing would be useful, as long as the changes are propagated back to the
data source (Google Spreadsheet, json doc.)
Yeah... it's that last 'propagation' bit thats tricky. ;)
You can see one example of in-place editing at
http://projects.csail.mit.edu/exhibit/Dido. It persists without
propagating----the data is stored in the html doc, which you save locally.
I am working on separating out an editing extension. It probably won't
include propagation, but will include a hook where you can put your own
special purpose propagation code.
I wish I could implement writebacks to google spreadsheets, the most
obviously adoptable persistence mechanism, but so far I haven't found a
way to make the protocols work from the client site---you need help from
a server that can handle authentication to google. I'm hoping this
might change with the evolution of the CORS protocol.

Yep, you are correct -- Timeline (i.e. the standalone widget) is not
included in the Exhibit 3 project. But the timeline view inside
Exhibit will be updated to work with the new Exhibit framework...

Hi wjw,
Unfortunately, changing current Exhibit display widgets is outside the
scope of the Exhibit3 project since we have to focus on the stuff we
promised the funder.
Do I read that correctly as to mean Timeline is not being updated as
part of Exhibit 3? I'm looking into another Timeline-based project and
just wondered if it was about to chnge (no big deal either way). I do
recall seeing reference to an HTML5-based re-write.
