I'm following the launch of Kendo UI closely.
IMHO what Kendo has to do right now is post a demo of a medium sized web app (>20 screens) showing us how to integrate al the pages eg via the menu widget.
The To-Do-List sample app is learning us nothing.
2 years ago, I've bought, studied, tested, flamed, ... ExtJs and never got to the point of building a decent web app.
This was THE MAJOR complaint of the ExtJs newsgroups. They have a lot of small widget demos but how do we integrate them into a medium sized app eg a webshop.
So, Kendo UI, please don't make the same mistake. 
Show us a medium sized web app with all the widgets and - most important - how they interact with each other.

Maybe CSS3 can do more nice text,textarea,button, but in IE7&8, can not support border-radius,box-shadow,text-shadow, so we must use picture to do this. I want to all the form element seems the same in KendoUI support browsers.
Just like: Uniform,Niceforms,Jquery FormOne,jqTransform,jNice and so on...

Or more flexible:

Allow developers to handle user's click on a DataViz legend item.

And provide the possibility to set/reset the visibility of a DataViz serie not only his opacity.

Once a theme is created and the css/less code is grabbed, the only way to easily and visually modify the theme later is to input all the old values back into the themebuilder.  It would be nice if there was a way to easily get the values back into the themebuilder from a created theme.  To take a page from jQuery UI, they stick a commented out URL into the theme's CSS that will automatically load the themeroller with all values filled out.  This is extremely handy for modifying themes.

Provide us a way to initialize the nodes of a panelbar to expanded\collapsed during kendo initialization instead of after kendo renders it.

Hi,

I have a need to have multiple windows interact.

The problem is, unlike your RadWindows for Ajax which will always be on top after receiving a mouse click, not so with the Kendo UI windows.

I will explain.

I open window A.

Window A launches window B.

Window B is UNDER window A.

I have written JQuery to search for the divs with the k-window classes, find the title span, and set the z-index behaviors I want but this is not as elegant as the behavior of your own RadWindows in the Telerik Ajax suite which I use on my other big ASP.NET project.

I believe your windows need to do 2 things for official v1 release.

A- Minimize

B- Whenever a window receives focus it should have the highest z-index. 

Thanks!!

Cary

Please consider adding a Pivot Grid control to your UI library.

Simple edit like <input type="text" but with full support of skins and Mask. With this the current date piker and roadmap numeric input you gave a full control scheme with all the skins applied.

My Team created a Dashboard Silverlight App built using Silverlight RadControls. So we have lots of chart types with cool features as drill down, gauges.
Now, we are looking forward to move to HTML5 soon... in order to do that we need all this rich widgets ASAP in Kendo UI.

Thanks!

Right now, editing in the grid seems to be on a per-cell basis.  I would prefer a model where each row has an edit button, and when clicked, it would put the row into edit mode.  A save / cancel button would then be available to validate and save or cancel the edit.

The minimize function does not work when added to a kendoWindow. A North pointing triangle is added to the title bar bu nothing happens when clicked.

Also restricting the Maximize to the parent containier (DIV) as suggested by another user should be implemented soon.

I would really like a ProgressBar control. The reason why I want a progressbar control in kendo ui is so that the look and feel of my application is consistent throughout.

It looks like a Funnel chart type is one of the typically missing chart types from many html5 chart libs, currently. 

It's pretty useful and including it in dataWiz would give you a competitive edge towards other chart libs ;-)

For the app we're currently building, a chromeless, modal window would have saved us lots of time and coding and there are other applications where this could be very useful (especially in the ad serving industry for instance allowing affiliate marketers to place various javascript widgets on their sites that load remote content, etc). 

it seems that KendoUI will replace Telerik MVC Controls in near future. Yet there is no clear update path to inform developers about the migration roadmap (when will the mvc controls expire?). As a customer who recently bought MVC Controls, I'm also hoping for update discounts or some "grace period" (e.g. get a free kendo ui license if you bought the MVC controls 3 months before Kendo's launch)

Just like jqGrid~ and user can chioce which col can be hide~

Please add labelText option to the DropDown and ComboBox controls so it would be easier to add labels instead of having to manipulate the data source (especially when using a remote data source) to insert a first option as a label. This is currently an annoyance with the Telerik Controls as well. Thank you.

Something simple like:

$('#Country').kendoDropDownList({...
  dataTextField: "CountryName",
  dataValueField: "CountryCode",
  labelText: "[Select Country]"
});

This would eliminate lots of unnecessary coding or messing with the .js files to implement this ourselves (and having to re-do it each time when upgrading).

Please provide support (e.g. base classes) to help structuring and modularizing applications. Otherwise the framework is another control library and will not compete with full JS/HTML5 like frameworks like Sproutcore, ExtJS4. Most of the UI frameworks lacks of such support, especial for building serious enterprise applications.

Just test the basic usage sample on the web site.
If you are able to set all splitters as you wish, you are the king!
All other controls work as expected.

Please allow for the creation of custom UI widgets and plugins that can be tied closely with the rest of the framework similar to how jQuery plugins work but better ;)

Start off by providing good documentation of the different classes (both JS and CSS) that developers can and should use and provide guidelines for writing custom code so third party controls and extensions follow similar style (visually and programatically).

Also adding a Kendo Marketplace or something like this where developers can publish their plugins and other can vote/comment on them would be great for everyone. 

jQuery UI and the plugins that are available there are great but I think Kendo UI and the Kendo community can do better especially if we set the bar a little higher from the get go.
