I keep thinking I'm going to start one but I've sort of made up my mind to limp through 2013 using MooTools and then switch over to something like EmberJS in 2014. If you haven't looked at EmberJS it is a lot like WO in that you define a model and then it handles the database updates (through a REST interface). One thing I would like to see is that we start using the template design pattern for the Ajax framework. A lot of the components don't need to be totally rewritten - you just need to override appendToResponse to format the HTML the right way for the JS framework. But you can't subclass the original component because it calls super in appendToResponse. So if appendToResponse called a method like fooBar and then when you subclass the component all you need to do is override fooBar and you don't have to work about the other methods like invokeAction/handleRequest etc... I basically ended up doing a bunch of copying and pasting but if something got improved in the original there is no guarantee it made it's way into the MooTools version.

I've checked that one out too. It seems really easy to use. I'm kind of torn between which of the ones that makes the most sense for me. I'm planning on doing a wiki article on how to do the TODOS app with WO as a backend for both when my schedule quiets down.

They do have Tapesty support built into the IDE. Which makes me think that they already would have a good idea on how to do it.

In fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for effects? If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to give to the community, we can work it out.
