[Users] GeoExt 1.0?

[Chris Holmes]

What's on people's minds for the minimum component list that we need 
before we call things '1.0'?

The list in my mind (past what's already in core, which I think gets us 
much of the way there) is something like:

* Styling
* Editing tools (with WFS-T and backed to other persistence formats)
* Google Earth plugin
* 'Search' - generic components, plus specific things for geocoding, 
geonames, etc.
* Printing
* As easy to add google maps or bing through the UI as it is to add WMS 
layers (or close to as easy, may have to include a key)

I'm psyched on the other UX components, but I don't personally see them 
as essential.  What is on other people's lists?  What makes GeoExt a 
compelling mapping toolkit?

I think there will be a whole lot of interest once GeoExt gets past 1.0, 
and it could be nice to define a roadmap / have an idea of what we're 
shooting for.  Then once that core is reached effort should be shifted 
from developing new components to getting what exists in to solid 1.0 
state, with docs, examples etc.
