dojox is a meta-package of other packages that was historically a development area for the Dojo Toolkit. It contains packages that run the gamut of JavaScript technology. Over the years the modules and sub-packages have taken dramatically different paths. Some of the code is very mature, some of the code is experimental and some of the code is essentially abandoned. All of the packages require the Dojo Toolkit core and some require the widget library dijit.
You should read the README file contained in each sub-package to understand the status of the code contained
within.
DojoX is currently not accepting any new sub-packages or projects. If you are interested in adding to the community of packages, please discuss in the Community Forum.
Installation instructions are available at dojotoolkit.org/download.
