Jakub, I have an open source project that is supposed to provide some railable patterns to jquery/jquery ui. The on-going idea is to provide some very general patterns to allow ui development to become more automated. jquery-claypool provides mvc, routing, lazy loading, dependency injection, filters (aop), category logging, convention-over-configuration, while not requiring any sort of inheritence dependencies. It very light weight and even supports server-side development. My real goal for it has been for minimal generated code to allow flexible ui or commandline integration with jquery-ui/jquery, like flash/flex for jquery, while still adhering to the jquery-way as much as possible. jquery-claypool is not jquery or jquery-ui, nor is it what your doing, but it strongly compliments their goals without duplicating them.
http://github.com/thatcher http://claypooljs.com http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Claypool It very stable, very minimal, very extensible, and very understable for folks who come from application framework backgrounds like django, rails, spring, etc. It was very recently releases as a 1.0 though I've used it for about a year and a half in development and it will be released with a library of congress production project in about 12 days. I will contribute effort if you decide to use it.
