Hi all, Thanks for your responses - concerns have been relieved.
I wasn't aware that there was no obligation to include the SoC stuff. I think that the admin would gain a lot from having more JS/AJAX stuff and that it would be a wise decision to pick a framework and run with it. However as soon a a JS framework is bundled with Django it will start to influence the rest of the project. I'd rather have bits and pieces of JS in the admin than a framework if only to halt influence on the developers and us ending up knee deep in a JS framework like Rails (recognising though that Prototype was developed as part of Rails). Cheers, John. PS. I am totally looking forward to the per-object permissions stuff, so keep up the good work :D On 8/9/06, Ian Holsman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > from my understanding having YUI in this section is very localized, and > would not affect > your choice of AJAX library to use within your applications. > > > > On 09/08/2006, at 9:05 PM, Chris Long wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'm the developer working on the branch. > > A few things, hopefully to answer your concerns. > > 1) The HTML and JS is written that the AJAX can be turned off very > easily(currently it works better with JS disabled then enabled).
