Will chart creation be more robust in 2009.2 release?

[mvines]

It's late in the development cycle, but I notice that the winforms designer has more robust features for building charts than the web designer currently does. Are there plans to add features like the datasource, variable, and function view to the expression editor, Chart wizard, etc. to the web designer's next release?

By the way, I'm super excited about this release. You guys are doing a great job.

Thanks,

Matthew Vines
