I just published the xajax library as extension because I found it easy to use.
You only need to know PHP. Javascript is generated. License match TYPO3.

http://www.xajaxproject.org/

I don't develop it. The xajax library is already stable. My TYPO3 extension
still needs some testing and documentation.

NG typo3.teams.extension-coordination is a good place for projects that need
coordination. Coordinated projects (i.a. AJAX) have better chances to be
accepted as an "official solution" as Kaspar mentioned lately in this list.

Conditions to become an ECT project:

* The coordination project (i.a AJAX) finds a project leading person who does
the coordination, who leads the discussion and the development.
* Interested people (for AJAX: Onno, Maximo, Dimitri, Ingo, etc.) are actively
asked by the person to join the project. (If they don't take the opportunity,
you can't help.)
* There should be at least 3 active poeple in the project, to serve the label
"coordinated" at all.
* The R&D Team has the last decisions.
