However, this appears to give Django some sort of anti-javascript/AJAX reputation and drives people away from Django (see e.g. [http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/02/23/pycon-2007-web-frameworks-panel ""does Django have an AJAX plan?""]). Given that this sort of thing is a web2.0ey buzzword, I can see this being used as a deciding factor in Dilbert-esque management meetings. Whilst there are good reasons not to tie into a specific framework (e.g. [http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/07/02/django-and-ajax Ubernostrums infamous post]), there is [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/serialization/ plenty] that Django does to make it easy to do AJAX-y things. This should be documented fairly briefly, but *prominently* to correct these misconceptions, and can incorporate info from/link to the many wiki pages (e.g. [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/XML-RPC XML-RPC]) or blog posts (e.g. [http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/07/31/django-tips-simple-ajax-example-part-1 another b-list post]) where people can find more information." closed Documentation dev wontfix Design decision needed 0 0 0 0 0 0
