Re: [Fofredux-devel] A few changes

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

Definitely, I think Ajax is great thing for smooth user-interface and
will definitely be put into FoFRedux 0.4. I just want to make sure we
keep our design heads about us when putting it in. :)

I've used prototype a bunch and it's very nice. However, it can be
very heavyweight. There is MooFX which is supposed to be a much
lighter-weight, but fairly full-featured Ajax library. Worst case, we
just write the straight ajax, which is pretty simple and I've done
that before as well.

Thanks for the feedback.
