I think the answer to all this is the built-in themes. Right now, I'm proposing that the current themes use Dojo where an advanced widget is needed, however there could very well be a "prototype" theme, or the user could replace the default head.ftl (that loads dojo) with their own. Component

Alex - I definately agree with you, somewhat ;) - if this is a simple calendar, or other lightweight widget there is no need to involve an ajax library download. *Any* ajax library download. But I do think there is a need for an ajax theme when the user is ready to use one. So how do we defere
