[TYPO3-mvc] ExtJS

I just committed a SimpleForm plugin that shows an ExtJS form with a 
textbox and a combobox whose items are filled with a JSON-encoded string 
retrieved with a proxy, thus AJAX call.

I used pure Extbase code (even if not 100% official :D)

done as 1st draft.

Absolutely.

Once again, the purpose of this extension is to find some consensus on 
best practices while coding extension that (more or less heavily) use 
ExtJS to enhance the output.

For the moment, Extbase and Fluid are quite new even if coding with this 
framework has already a few best practices. ExtJS has best practices too 
if used "as this" but the combination of both frameworks is... new! And 
as such, we have to find out what is the best way to combine them. This 
is the goal of the MVC_ExtJS_Samples extension.
