I probably shouldn't have brought mochikit into it:)  I like it, true
enough, but I'd actually be happy to abandon it if there was some
strong benefit like community involvement.

You're right that picking a library is likely to be a matter of
opinion, and therefore will likely cause a controversy.  (Are
javascript library wars anything like language wars?)  But that
doesn't mean it isn't worth it.  If my little horse doesn't win the
race I'm not exactly going to switch to J2EE/Rails/Pylons/<insert
favorite project here>.

If I don't like the library that gets chosen I can always download my
own code.  The django code base already comes with js for the admin
interface and I've never once looked at (no offense to the devs, it
just seems tied into the admin interface).

There's an opportunity here to build the community as well as catalyze
some framework cross-pollination.  Now you might not want to hitch
your wagon to a dying horse (I don't), but there are some pretty
interesting projects out there.  I'm sure they would welcome a bunch
of energetic pythonistas making their code more formidable.

Just agreeing on an unofficial library might start something
interesting.  There are already two votes for jQuery.
