Hi, I feel that the community ecosystem was a bit underestimated in the evaluation where Ext/JS was considered above GWT. I would be considering the overall architecture which supports a wider community involvement - not just from a polished UI perspective but from a social participation perspective.
I feel strongly about the potential of OpenSocial platform (http://www.opensocial.org) and support for other applications like - My Space, Orkut, Google Wave etc. Since Vaadin follows an entirely different architectural approach, I do not know how far it can collaborate with these platforms/applications. Needless to say, that any product architecture which encourages (and has a potential for) developing a community ecosystem would be a first choice regardless of a rich component library or polished UI. I am not bashing Vaadin in general, but it seems it does not have the sufficient advantage to be among the core components of a CMS especially considering the architectural impact/alienation. And finally some statistics from Google Trend for the three frameworks - http://www.google.com/trends?q=GWT%2C+vaadin%2C+extjs&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 Regards, Mrinal ________________________________ From: Philipp Bärfuss <[email protected]> To: Magnolia Dev-List <[email protected]>; Magnolia User-List <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, August 9, 2010 4:25:48 PM Subject: [magnolia-user] Magnolia 5.0 - architecture - survey and final decision Thanks for participating in our survey. You find a summery of the results on the survey wiki page -> http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/MAGNOLIA5/Architecture+Survey#ArchitectureSurvey-Results We have also filled in a decision table -> http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/MAGNOLIA5/Architecture+-+Decision+Table After some controversial discussion the team has finally decided to go with Vaadin. More details will follow - no later than at the conference ;-) Exited and looking forward ;-) - Philipp ________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
