I was planning on scheduling another planning session (looks like Monday or Tuesday might work best) using Dojo's
Dimdim (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/17806">http://groups.drupal.org/node/17806</a>) to get everyone on the
same page for the Dojo project. As previously mentioned, the aggregation element is a top priority. <br><br>Would be great to have Addi involved in
the convo, but either way, she has a good deal of knowledge about the
Dojo and will make sure that any innovation makes it back into the official documentation.<br><br>If that sounds good, I'll schedule a session for early next week and we'll keep the conversations going in the Drupal Groups (this is a good thread to jump in - <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/15832">http://groups.drupal.org/node/15832</a>) and #drupal-dojo IRC.<br>
