The very best of XPages news and articles for the week of October 19th - October 25th, 2010 from around the web:
I integrated and upgraded my last version of the Xpages Dojo Login Custom Control v1.4.2 into the OpenNTF website.
It has been quite some time since my last article in this little dojo series. XPages and some vacation kept me busy. As a reminder - most recently we used a dijit.Dialog to display some speaker information. In this blog entry we enhance our sample and repeat some parts of the blog entry before.
This is an update on the last week's post. I made few minor changes to the pagination. The combo box with any available page of results to pick from is great, but it is a little inconvenient to always pick from the combo if the users want to go to the previous or next pages.

It seems GROUP has finally announced their Evolution Transformer that automagically takes your legacy (ouch) Lotus Notes application and performs a wizard spell of XPages. Not being a developer I have no idea how hard it is, but looking at databases from the design side recently, with XPages already implemented, it doesn't look easy.
