Hello, Vivek: You are welcome to participate...Though XAP is on milestone 3; there are still lots, lots, and lots of work to be done! XAP has a long way to go to reach release 1.0...Here are the areas that would be extremely interesting to the community: 1. Adding new widgets: XAP is still missing many widgets...how about some effect widgets (animation, fading, etc)? 2. Add a new widget toolkit: XAP uses Dojo by default, but there are other good toolkits too such as Scriptaculous... 3. Existing XAP widgets are not quite done yet ... there will need more attributes and additional functionalities.. 4. Building one or two XAP apps and share it with the community...
One example is that RockStarApps.com who has built some quite amazing XAP apps. For example: http://www.rockstarapps.com/samples/map-compare (application use the Apache XAP project to integrate all three mapping technologies into one interface to compare their functionality and UI). It is definitely worthy of checking out... --Coach Wei > -----Original Message----- > From: Vivek Jani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 9:20 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Information required regarding contribution to XAP as a developer > > Hi XAP developers, > > Your project seems interesting to me and I would like to contribute to it > as > a developer as I am very much interested in AJAX based development.
