    You are invited to Complete a Dojo Lucid Theme Implementation and Visual Design Survey

    We have a guest blogger/request for today!
    The Open Client Initiative (OCI) is an effort within a pat of IBM called "Software Strategy and Technology" to, in part, improve the Dojo Toolkit by developing a new visual theme to address the problems with the current Tundra theme and a new Style Editor tool. These projects are in response to Dojo-related surveys conducted by the Design Leadership team early in 2009.

    The OCI team is now conducting an on-line survey to gather feedback regarding the approaches we've identified to implement the new Lucid theme as well as the detailed Lucid visual design specification. Your feedback will help the OCI team steer a course that will result in a new theme and Style Editor tool that works for as many product teams as possible.

    This survey expires 5pm Pacific (that would be GMT - 9 on 17 June I think)  on 6/17. We are interested in gathering feedback from Dojo Developers, UX Designers, Visual Designers and anyone else involved in the visual styling of Dojo-based applications. Please distribute this request to all appropriate staff -- it should require no more than 15-20 minutes to complete.

    What does this mean for Lotus Customers? Well, Xpages uses some Dojo controls, and so does Connections, Quickr and Portal.

    Thanks for the feedback!!
