Dojo rarely wins popularity polls, and I've often complained about the lack of science behind polls. The reasons can be explained for a variety of reasons, but with the latest results from the O'Reilly InsideRIA poll, Which AJAX framework do you currently prefer?, "with almost 50% of the vote, Dojo is the clear winner."

I'm pleased to announce the launch of the Dojo Foundation web site. I first demonstrated the site at Dojo Developer Day V in Boston a few weeks ago, and we're pleased to have something worthy of representing the foundation.

It would not have been possible without the hard work and assistance of Torrey Rice, Chris Anderson, Tobias Klipstein, and Dustin Machi. The Dojo Foundation site is minimalistic by design, and is powered by Dojango, making it one of the first sites to use this toolkit for making Dojo and Django integration easy!

Right on the heels of the Dojo 1.2 release, Aptana added support for Dojo 1.2. Aptana has been working closely together with Dojo and SitePen to make support for new Dojo releases extremely timely.

The Ajax Experience is kicking off in less than a week.

Today marks a very exciting milestone for two great Open Source Products: The Zend Framework and The Dojo Toolkit. Zend aims to provide out-of-the box Ajax functionality capable of communicating directly with the Framework, and Dojo aims to provide the solution.

The latest Dojo release includes critical but low-risk patches to version 1.1.0, plus localizations to bring the list of languages supported by Dojo to 22.

After a few weeks of trying to find out who owned the twitter user dojo, I've given up, and registered dojotoolkit. So, if you want to follow along with Dojo on twitter, follow http://twitter.com/dojotoolkit

Applications, ideas, and questions about Summer of Code have been coming thick and fast into Dojo over the past couple of weeks. We've got some very promising and well thought-out proposals from smart students, but we want more!

Google has just announced that the deadline for applications has been extended until April 7. So if you've been thinking about SoC but been too busy for whatever reason, now's your chance...

The moment has arrived. I've been anticipating this since the first new fixes to trunk were made, shortly after the 1.0 release. I am proud -- no, elated -- to announce what marks another solid run of around-the-clock development: The Dojo Toolkit version 1.1
