Hi,

I have never heard of jpspan before your posting. :-) There are so many
php/js libraries popping up theese days, some of them with really nice
functionalities. It would be a mistake if the ECT team would fix
ultimatively upon one of them. It also would be a mistake if ECT
wouldn't give any recommendation within this jungle.

I think we officially should promote xajax constantly for some period
until there comes up a significant better alternative or until we have
an own TYPO3 ajax service available, that can offer similar functionality.

There are three good reasons to promote xajax for now:

1.) It does the job well
2.) It is available and maintained as a stable TYPO3 extension.
3.) There is a tutor extension available for it.

We still can't say all of this for other libraries.


As soon as we can say this we can reflect the matter.
