Can we get a GXT wiki going?? Darryl, it would really help your bottom line. A Wiki would help newbies get started with GXT, it would help fill the documentation void, would help address common questions/topics, and it would help those of us who are came from the ExtJS Javascript library.

I know a Wiki exists, but it seems heavily geared towards the ExtJS Javascript library. I sure know that I would be more than happy to contribute the various GXT knowledge I've picked up over the past few weeks.

The most recent example is using the XmlReader in conjunction with the PagingToolbar...
In ExtJs you had to form your XML like so:

<rootnode>

<total>someTotal#</total>
<elem1 />
<elem2 />
... etc ...
</rootnode>

In GXT you have to form your XML like so:
<rootnode total="someTotal#">

<elem1 />
<elem2 />
... etc ...
</rootnode>

A Wiki would help out with problems like this. Can Ext please set one up for us GXT guys?

If anyone else supports this idea, please chime in with your comments.

Thanks,

JP

I'm a java zealot and would perfer better Javadocs, I don't want to have to search through a wiki for some obscure page to find out the real detail on a method that should have been more clearly documented in javadocs... I guess in the world of javascript where no standard structure exists it would make sense for alternative doc sources...
