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.
Yes but only maybe best?
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. Right on! You mention other technologies than AJAX to provide Asynch work.. Don't hesitate to tell us more about this.
I started off with Applet for rich, thin clients if that's what you call them. I far prefer Applet java to wsdl and other spaghetti which (like ant scripts) it seems sensible to generate from java and ignore after that (apart from testing of course). Enclose are my meagre preliminary notes, quotes on AJAX if they're of any use to anyone. Cheers Jim
