Joshua Eichorn has a new post today with information about the call for votes on the HTML_AJAX proposal and it's future.

I called for votes on the HTML_AJAX proposal on tuesday, it has 13 +1’s already so it looks like it will pass. The voting period ends on the 10th so there is still plenty of time for you to review the code and vote on it if your a PEAR developer.

Moving forward on development im looking for feedback on the big features im planing to add: Call Queuing and ordering of Async calls, Call combining, Some sort of widget api.

This would be a great addition to the PEAR libraries and really provide a good base for other PHP/Ajax combinations in the future...
