Count me in as someone who wants to get their feet wet with UKI by helping out with the 0.4 release. However, I don't know what still needs doing or how to approach it. For example, I assume that a lot of views need porting from 0.3.8, but I'm not sure how I'd go about that.

Vladimir: If people want to help out with 0.4, what needs doing and what do you have in mind for how it should be done?

(I don't know how much actual time I'll have for this, so I can't promise much, but I'd like to contribute at least a little.)

First, thank you.

Second, there's lot's of work that should be done:
  1. Port remaining views from 0.3.8: Popup, Slider, Select, Form, HVTile, DataTable (aka Table), DataTree (ake TreeList). I'm working heavily on DataTable, DataList now. I also just added a doc on writing a 0.4 view https://github.com/voloko/uki/blob/master/docs/writing_a_view.markdown and example for that https://github.com/voloko/uki/tree/master/examples/core-examples/customView I think Slider and Form are good candidates to start porting.
  2. More unit tests and functional tests (examples). Container needs units, _compat might need some. Split Pane should have more examples.
  3. Docs and tutorials. Introduction is sparse, there should be a doc on writing a container view and on using events and event delegation.
  4. Data layer. There's a an example for Observable data. Now I need to make it work with DataLists. 
  5. Port mail app, create a new example application, push docs and code to ukijs.org, add generators to uki tools. This is the last one.
As of now 0.4 works only locally. So to contribute 

Install node and npm
npm install ukijs
node express.js
