Sounds reasonable. As mentioned, the decision for jquery was mainly becaus it is already integrated. If we stick to your proposal, it shouldn't matter which library we use because we will build an autonomous small snapshot of it.

The server was rebooted yesterday without my knowledge, so the jetty is restarted and should be reachable at http://lovo.test.dev.indoqa.com/mepheser/moobrowser/ As you can see, this first demo uses widget classes and is built with mootools.
