Ok, this is how its going to work - it'll stay in this ticket until its ready for a review and vote by the Dojo contributors, and we'll keep improving it until then. It may take a while, but stick at it. DojoX modules must have a maintainer so we need to make sure that you're committed to looking after this. Add new attachments each time you revise it (1.X.js, 2.X.js, etc).

From my initial review, and I haven't looked at the actual maths yet or looked at the patch too closely, and there will be more:

• It must follow the dojo style guide, specifically:
  • add some line breaks - we have a build system for compressing JS, and the source tree has to be readable and maintainable.
  • indents, 4 spaces.
  • function summaries as explained under [Documentation http://dojotoolkit.org/developer/StyleGuide#Documentation]. Add your examples as part of that too, and make sure the arguments to each function have their types documented.
  • put a dojo.provide() statement at the top so that you don't need the new Object thing and so it works with the module system.
• We need it as a patch against the subversion tree rather than a single JS file. Catch me on IRC in #dojo sometime or on IM and I'll walk you through it. Until then just keep attaching JS files.

i'm trying to identify stale tickets. if there is a need to keep this ticket open, please replace the "needsreview" keyword with "reviewed". if there is no need to keep this ticket open then please close it.

Some of these key statistics have been added to DojoX, the remaining ones, while potentially good ideas are not going to be added at this point and it is likely this will be a separate package in Dojo 2.0.
