Lotusphere - more whats new in xPages

New back end classes capability - better integration with Lotusscript and Agents.

CKEditor - this is really needed and I know people are looking for this as in the past editing options were really poor. New capabilities such as resizing the editor real time by the user, more toolbar features (image uploaders etc).

Proper documentation of the java APIs. Better design time rendering (themes / styles) and improved repeat rendering.

Drag and drop of components and controls direct into the source - a real frustration in the past when working day to day with xPages.

Futures...this is what I call a world class web development platform

1. xPages stateless mode - HTML without the server side life cycle
2. More dojo tools (sliders / pretty and simple to build tooltips)
3. Grid / View integration with multiple level categorisation, responses
4. Calender control
5. Better dialog box integration (I personally have had much pain here!!)
6. A big one this - RELATIONAL DATA ACCESS via JDBC
7. Mobile device support (themes presentation according to platform)
8. Integration with other Lotus products (Sametime / Quckr / Connections controls) - the quickr one looks very easy!
9. Better intergation between calling JS and LS!!
