There was just a post on jgen that reminded me of this. Fellow wants to create a multi-page component form. It gets back to a point you make in your whitepaper about users and site designers expecting more dynamic and flexible interfaces. Multi-page forms are one example of something I'd like the architecture to better support going forward. By better I mean, make it easier to develop such things. Easier means less boilerplate code, more out-of-the-box support for ajax-driven and multi-part pages, and more support for debugging. I think this is what efforts like nooku want to deliver on as well, as suggested elsethread. There's a possible synergy there. And again I would suggest taking a hard look at GWT. GWT has some brilliant stuff for handling multi-part pages with URL/location dynamic updating too. It also facilitates debugging by providing runtime and debugtime versions, and it delivers easy to use eclipse-based tooling.

>As you see, everything is there. It is not hard to improve this documentation, and it is done constantly. So I do not see a high priority here. This is where we disagree. As I said above I think documentation should run parallel to code development. I think that is a key issue for not only serving the developer community but improving Joomla itself. I would argue for releasing the official book(s) simultaneous with corresponding major platform updates. >I do not really understand, what you mean here. Which tools are you missing? What tools are there -- specific to Joomla? Someone posted on the dev list the other day that he was developing an Eclipse plugin to support Joomla dev. I haven't looked at it, but that sounds like the kind of thing I'd want. Have you ever used GWT? Best web app framework I've ever seen. Top-notch docs, dead easy to use, plug-and-play Eclipse extension. It even has a page design UI.
