We have some old code using a tweaked version of the old ucw_ajax, and
might be interested in converting it to the new codebase. But I
haven't actually looked closely on the refactored code yet.

We might be able to help with updating the ajax parts, but my
enthusiasm for dojo has faded a lot. If we are going to update it I
would suggest using jQuery because it could be refreshing to work with
 something easy, stable, widely-used and with momentum. I have
experience with dojo and prototype but am trying out jQuery right now
for these reasons plus that it plays well with other libraries.
