Hi,

The Javascript will all be provided by jQuery and jQuery UI files contained
within Semantic MediaWiki; though the plan is to eventually use MediaWiki's
own files, once almost everyone is using a version of MediaWiki that has
jQuery and jQ UI included - maybe in two or three years.

I should note that I also just added a scrollbar to the autocompletion in
Special:Ask, per Patrick's suggestion. Thanks for the suggestion - I think
it's a big improvement!
