Sam,

Thanks for the info on Dojo, seeing so many commercial backers, and the fact
that their license is not any well known license but a "custom" license,
made me worry about their usefullness long term wirth commercial projects.
Are you sure about the license?  Is it similar to Apache or BSD?

It does look pretty powerful, and I will explore it further, thanks for the
advice.
