Well, I am so far as to use ucw-core, augmented with ajax stuff and
along with jQuery!

It's not polished at all yet, the replaced component renders slightly
misplaced, and it's dirtyness has to be set by hand.

The modified ucw-core:

The modified web site, with a jquery copy:
http://lisp.opopop.net/files/core-lisp-app.tgz

Files of interest are:
lisp-app/main-ajax/application-ajax.lisp
lisp-app/static/scripts/ajaxify.js

(The last file is a bit too specific currently)

So yes, that road seems interesting to follow.

Regards.
