After I wrote my last blog about Dojo v0.9. there has been an interesting discussion in the Dojo forum here, and also here, where some nice Dojo developers have helped me understand better the scope and rationale behind the Dojo. From that discussion I gathered that the Dojo beta is not feature complete and that we must wait for the release of v. 1.0 to see what it will look like once finished. This is especially true for the documentation, that is currently the major weak point and, I must say, source of much frustration in using Dojo.
In the meanwhile, to track the development of the Dojo toolkit and test some of its functionalities, I have created a page where I intend to publish some of the test that I am doing. To begin with, I have ported the Mail demo v0.4 to the current Dojo version (v.0.9).
