GIS Dashboard Replication with STRATUS RIA tools / DOJO

On Friday I was asked to drop everything and investigate how we can replicate an existing GIS dashboard using the STRATUS RIA tools (http://stratus.pbbiblogs.com/tag/ria/) and the DOJO toolkit (http://www.dojotoolkit.org/). DOJO is a JavaScript library that let's you do extremely cool things. If I stick to my plan then I'm going to record my experiences here and there should be an update for every 1/2 day that I spend working on this project.
