1. We should use JIRA for task tracking, not just bugs. Will make life easier 
for coordination, testing, etc.

2. We should start a discussion about next steps. Some thing I have in mind:

Performance of all kinds. (Startup and shutdown, memory, etc)

Drag drop support

Better table/tree/treeTable

General rounding out of widgets

Continuous code cleanup

Better documentation, both jsdoc and more general how to build, run, get 
started, etc

Potentially integrating some Yahoo UI widgets.

---

The last one requires a bit of explanation. YUI has come a long way in a short 
amount of time, as has YUI-EXT. (Extra widgets and functionality) YUI code is 
very nice and the documentation is also very nice. YUI widgets also look very 
nice and seem pretty stable and functional.

I am particularly interested in tree and table. (And some combination of those 
into a treetable??) A proper table has a lot of functionality - column sorting, 
resizing, swapping, one-click editors, etc. Maintaining our own table is pretty 
painful.

However there are some benefits in that our table is a combined 
tree/table/treeTable in one set of code. AFAIK neither Dojo nor YUI have a good 
tree table.

I would like to at least do some investigation into YUI. There are many factors 
to consider - will it integrate with Dojo loading code (and do we even want to 
do that), is it easier to work with?

The main thing I like about YUI is the level of polish it has. It doesn't cover 
nearly the breadth of the Dojo libs but what it does do it seems to do better.
