Justin, I just found JavaScriptMVC today. I only took a quick look so far. I’ll let you know what I think if I dig into it more.

John, saw your comment on the SOFEA email list. I agree that an instance on a specific purpose misses the point of what thin server architecture is trying to accomplish.

Have you checked out JavaScriptMVC? I’ve solved many of the problems you’ve addressed.

Kris Zyp recently talked about using rhino as a surrogate browser to provide non-js clients accessibility.

I’d really like to know what you think about JavaScriptMVC.

I think there is/should be a difference between web apps and web sites. Web apps are rarely searchable and you can pretty easily demand JS.

Hi! you seems to want to make application such as http://gifteer.com : everything is rendered by the browser, only the dynamic data part is sent from the server in json, localisation too.

It has been build on top of Archetype (http://archetypejs.org), which is designed for this kind of development (well it’s design for generic browser strcutured js development, but with a particular emphasis on building “one page site”)
