Jumping the Gun

It's fun to do things alone, but it's more fun with other folks, even when you're afraid they might laugh at you.

So.

There's an unfinished version of xdraw you can play with. It's at http://www.xdraw.org/xdhTest.html

It needs Firefox 1.5. I've tried it on Windows, OS X and Linux and it seems to work OK on all three, though Windows is perceptibly faster.

In the build as of today, grouping handles are broken, the polyline tool does exactly the same thing as the scribble tool, and the gradient tool is just a tease for a feature that hasn't been written yet. As I said on the dojo list, it's "pre-alpha".

Developer releases are coming in about a month, and I'm shooting for a formal 0.1 by May.

If you want to help, say so in the comments here and we'll figure something out.
