Hi Jim,
The core of XWiki should not require Javascript. I would be ok to chase
the cases where a barebone XWiki would not work without Javascript. I
understand the concerns for Javascript in certain environments..
Now there are some issues (like IE not handling CSS Hover correctly)
which are more easily solved using Javascript.
Finally one of the core requests for adoption is a good interactivity.
In these cases JS and AJAX in particular are interesting technologies to
provide rich interactivity without going for Flash or other stuff.
My opinion, is that XWiki should have all it's content URI addressable,
should not requite advanced JS for the core UI to work and especially
viewing data, but at the same time can and should have advanced
interactivity (using what we can efficiently use) to get good adoption
from users.
You mention other technologies than AJAX to provide Asynch work.. Don't
hesitate to tell us more about this.

Hi,
1. I mentioned this problem to someone on the list the other week.
Would like to know what you folks think. On the Sonera-Zed, British
Gas and Philips projects javascript was unneeded (WAP-WML), minimised
or banned for security reasons.
This might be another barrier to acceptance. I've had to turn
javascript on to access XWiki.
A standard set of security problems is referenced at:
http://www.panix.com/~aahz/javascript.html
Do folks reckon the security problems have now been tied up then and
these corps should change their policy?
Cheers
Jim
2. PS Ajax is not the only way of doing asynch before this project
adopts yet another technology.

I regard it as pretty mandatory reading.
