Reformatting view data to shoehorn it into a dojo grid, that's a bear of work.

 

I would think it would be tremendously useful to just hand dojo grid a URL to a view and let it "go to town" on the data there.

 

BTW, this would also be useful for graphics content.

 

Given that their formats don't seem exactly ... compatible ... y'might find a number of content-input formats that would be useful in dojo. But the point is, I'm constantly writingn conversion code for this kind input, and it could readily be available to the entire world at the CGI level -- adding to dojo usage, Domino's speed of delivery, and reducing the custom coding required.

 

It might qualify as a control, I dunno. I just know that somewhere in the process the data needs to channel through to dojo components, and CGI seems to be the place where data output format is defined.
