Question. Does django help developers by writing some of the AJAX code, as it helps them with HTML and SQL? If not, is there sample code to suggest a path? AJAX may not be needed for newspaper-type sites, but quite a few potential django sites need the snappy and small-grained interface that AJAX provides. Write me down as someone who would like to see AJAX support ... and, of course, feel free to delete this comment if it's ill-placed or irrelevant. -- Dan Kelley

In case you're watching this page, I suggest taking this to the mailing list, as the Wiki isn't exactly a discussion venue. It's available on Google Groups: ​http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/ -- there are already a few good threads on AJAX support. Django already provides ​serializers to JSON and XML. Django allows you to easily pick your own JS toolkit.
