Call for contributors: A simple, fast and flexible grid/spreadsheet component


Hey All,
I've been working on a grid/spreadsheet control prototype during the
last couple of weeks. Seeing how there doesn't seem to be a lot of
other choices for this sort of thing, I had to write my own. I've
put
the project up on Google Code and am looking for experienced
developers who can pick this up and turn it into something that
everybody can use (a jQuery UI grid plugin?).
The project is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/slickgrid/.
Below is a copy of the project home page.
Looking forward to your feedback!

SlickGrid
What it is
Quite simply, SlickGrid is a JavaScript grid/spreadsheet component.
Some highlights:
Virtual scrolling/rendering (hundreds of thousands of rows)
Extremely fast rendering speed
Configurable & customizable
Full keyboard navigation
Resizable/reorderable columns
Custom cell formatters & editors
Support for editing and creating new rows.
"GlobalEditorLock" to manage concurrent edits in cases where multiple
Views on a page can edit the same data.
Why?
This is pretty much a work-in-progress prototype, so I don't feel
like
spending a lot of time documenting it at this stage. I do think it is
quite promising though, so I'm putting it up for everybody to see and
play with. In its current form, it satisfies nearly all of the
requirements for the project I am working on where I am utilizing it
in an MVC application, so I'm not sure how much time I can afford on
turning SlickGrid into something that would work for everybody. If
you
are willing to help out - let me know, and I'll add you to the
project
so that you can contribute.
