In Progress Projects

This is a list to keep track of all the projects that we are currently working on, or maybe that we started but then abandoned. (I'm *not* including stuff we merely talked about doing.) I also tried to list the names of the people were running/championing the effort.

Documentation

Form Widgets

All the form widgets need to be modified so that:

• they appear inline (display:inline-block)
• tabIndex, name attributes for every form widget - Bill
• support onValueChanged(newValue)
  
• all form widgets serialize to an [input] field on form submit
