Hi,

In the recent ticket changes by Igor I mentioned few comments that
Ajax will be re-written for Wicket.next (1.6, 3.0, 6.0 - whatever we
call it).

I want to share my experience with trying to re-vive Matej's work at [1], [2].
The changes there are a bit drastic (maybe because the task hasn't
been finished and the API breaks not cleaned) and knowing how Ajax
heavy are the applications I've worked on I think it will be quite a
work to migrate the apps from 1.5 to Wicket.next.
I also tried to introduce wicket-ajax.jar with the new impl and keep
the old one for transition but that wasn't easy too.

So I want to propose a two step approach:
1) introduce some JavaScript library for Wicket.next and improve
wicket-xyz.js files by using it
2) improve/reimplement Wicket Ajax for Wicket.next+1
