I haven't posted so much recently. I've really had my head down trying to get Views 2 to a point where more people can start working on it, and I hope to have an alpha prior to DrupalCon Boston. Since that's only a month away, that's a pretty exciting timeline.

Here's a rough idea of my TODO list:

• Retool argument handlers to better handle the fact that they can have their own style plugins for summaries. Also to make their default behavior more overrideable.
• Support rearranging fields/sorts/filters/etc via drag & drop.
• Actually support relationships instead of just showing them in the UI.
• UI for page 'path' and 'menu' settings, plus all kinds of supporting code like view::get_url()
• Retool view object because fields/sorts/filters/arguments/relationships no longer have their own tables.
• Paging info in UI.
• Block description in UI.
• Dependent .js in several areas of the UI. (this enables/disables form fields when nearby settings change to make them relevant/irrelevant).
• Exposed widgets. Lots of work to do there; there's barely stubs.
• Handlers. All the filter handlers for nodes, to start with. And then fago's user handlers. And then comment, taxonomy and profile handlers. This is a point where other people will be able to help, hopefully after next week.

And, uh, other stuff I haven't thought about.

Here's a screenshot of the UI in all it's javascripty AJAXy glory (and yet it can completely degrade if you have .js off. I'd recommend not doing that, but it'll function).

A lot of work still needs to be done to style this better, but that's icing. I'm still baking the cake.
