Whatever AJAX enhancements are made, let's try to stay clear of stuff that changes the appearance of the page with every single keystroke. Please.
Well, about the edit preview, don't worry about. Our Parser is complicated enough that anything like that isn't happening soon.
It already has: http://wikiwyg.org/wysi/
Can I comment on this? It has one problem that peeves me on other AJAX sites too... :-) The problem is when people overuse AJAX when it is inappropriate. In this case, clicking an "edit" link is one such case. It completely changes the appearance of the screen, therefore the user understands it as a separate page, therefore the user expects to be able to go back by clicking the browser's "back" button. Using AJAX to change the page removes this functionality and makes it a frustrating
Is there something that prevents the AJAX (aka javascript) to override the backbutton so when the user clicks it, they get "!back to the previous" page, aka what it looked like before clicking edit?
OTOH, w/o JS and ajax etc this page wouldn't be possible at all.
best wishes,
