That sounds like a great idea (working together), and personally I'm
not too hung up about which AJAX library I use, as long as it can do
the job (which most seem too for my simple things)
I like the idea of having one way of doing this across frameworks, it
makes them all simpler to learn and increases the adoption of all of
them.
my only question is how are you planning on setting this up. are you
thinking that each framework should just reference your module, or are
you planning that you put the API glue into your SVN repo as well?
(alongside a turbogears & myghty version I'm guessing)
Louis has already started integrating django with it, and I'm most
concerned that his hard work doesn't get lost.

If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. -
