The concept of "static" pages where you can submit data to the server
seems a bit weird (means you can submit info to the server, but then
you never see the result of that info... unless you access the info
via Ajax requests I guess).

Anyways, concerning the centralized Ajax requests, its definitely
feasible.

You just need to have a central service running on web2py to receive/
reply to the requests and then craft the Ajax requests on the static
pages to make the requests to this service.

A good chunk of the work would be client-side logic rather than server-
side logic.

Authentication might be a challenge however...
