* Make ServerSide into a full-fledged web framework.

* But not a Rails clone.

* Make it the best AJAX framework.

* In tandem with ClientSide.

* SeaSide has a point - pervasive componentization, everything has a URI.

* Built-in features: in-situ editing, AJAX forms, lightboxes, AJAX history handling, live search.


Architectural guidelines:

* Throw away the MVC pattern, doesn't really work for web apps.

* Programmable URI structure. *The URI structure is the application*.

* RESTful access to the data models.

* Smart rendering of partials. Partials can be nested or not - automatic header handling.

* Easy control over HTTP caching.

* A flexible security model that deals with cross-site foregery and stuff like that.
