Response to the Sencha Touch UI Drupal group
While I greatly respect the effort behind this group, I feel that the group's description is more than a bit misleading, so I would like to clarify the current landscape for anyone interested in developing mobile-friendly Drupal themes. To quote the group's description:
"We all remember jQ Touch ... Now its Sencha Touch.. a better Mobile app building framework.. As its all around jquery and html.
lets see the possibilities of having drupal themes being built using Sencha."
- jQTouch is still alive and kicking
- Sencha Touch is completely unrelated to either jQuery or jQTouch
- Sencha Touch doesn't wrap around html, it generates it.

AJAX Madness
hey guys i have been working on an Ajax module that would make Drupal sites FLY
Later i had also come across a module called ajaxit. But that module is based on a jQuery plugin and it doesn't exploit Drupals theming features. so i started working on a small module (5 lines barely) with some jQuery to get the same thing done.
As an addition i have added an ajax binding to the forms, though some forms like the login form have been excluded from it
It works well on mobile browsers too
The idea behind this is to try to make this module work with SENCHA
