[Cosmo-dev] [Sum] Jun 3-9

[Ted Leung]

Here's the summary of the activity on cosmo-dev for the week of  
February 11, 2007.

New threads:
-------

Matthew Eernisse wanted to understand the usage of dojo.lang.mixin in  
cal.js
+ Travis Vachon explained that Matthew had things confused and that  
the use of dojo.lang.mixin was to make sure that self pointed to the  
correct Javascript object.
+ This lead to several discussions:
a) whether to use objects which are mostly namespaces as "domain" or  
"business" objects
b) the use of the name self, which is reserved.

Jeremy Epstein agreed that it would be good to try to hide his  
viewporting code under conventional UI mechanisms like panels.  This  
would likely mean that  resizing would need to happen out of an  
ordered "display list" somewhere.  He wanted to know if that was ok.
