Chris Schalk, developer evangelist for Google
1. How can I make AJAX applications that easily go offline? (i.e. can work easily and in a similar manner when not connected to the Internet.)
2. Am I better off using an AJAX framework, a toolkit or just coding my own Ajax/JavaScript and what are the scenarios that are best for one or another?
3. Will JavaScript 2.0 be a success, or a dud?
4. How do make a secure AJAX application? (or what are the best practices to mitigate security problems in AJAX applications?)
5. When will AJAX development finally be easy?John Crupi, CTO of JackBe:
1. How significant is Enterprise Mashups to you (your customers)?
2. Is AJAX commoditized or will it be soon?
3. Will AJAX be standardized in the form of widget APIs or declarative markup?
4. Is AJAX being challenged by new innovations like Silverlight and JavaFX?
5. What's the biggest browser limitation to AJAX?Joshua Gertzen, lead developer of the ThinWire AJAX Framework
1. What are some viable strategies for preforming unit/stress testing on an AJAX Application?
2. At what point do developers need to be concerned about client-side code exposing sensitive "how-to" code?
3. Writing complex UIs in JavaScript can lead to lots of client-side code, so how do you scale such a design to a very large application?
4. Do we really need JavaScript 2.0? Won't it be somewhat irrelevant by the time it becomes commonplace and thus usable?
5. Is AJAX about more than just web development? Should we be campaigning to replace all desktop apps with an AJAX equivalent? Kevin Hakman, co-founder of TIBCO General Interface:
1. Will AJAX standards emerge and succeed? Where’s the potential value and to who?
2. What’s the difference between a mashup and a composite application?
3. On what timeline will AJAX skills become commoditized like HTML skills became?
4. What would you like to see in the next releases of IE, Safari, and Firefox.
5. Will Webkit dominate mobile devices, (aka is Opera still relevant?)Andre Charland, co-founder of Nitobi

There's a growing impedance mismatch between the large scale providers of content and the consumers of that content as we build multiple messaging architectures. How realistically do we resolve this mismatch in such a way that we are able to preserve both flexibility (SOAP), simplicity (Atom) and brevity (JSON), and can we do so without sparking a religious war? |

If you imagine the a URI is a handle to a given resource -- is the AJAX community pushing to retain the isomorphic relationship between the URI and a given state of a web application as it changes through AJAX interaction? |

Other questions like: [1] ambiguity in AJAX toolkits, can I match them? how an aspect in Toolkit A can influence toolkit B? The namespaced Web apps becomes now important. It's the same that happened in Browser space, they were different, then become a bit shared, the AJAX toolkits work also may reach a convergence state as we have offline/online caching infra-structure with namespaced events - sandboxed apps in the same page but running each in a given scope. I think the next stage promises good things for us and the current stage is a mess with good value under it. The exploration of the mashup stack and mashup infra for interoperability is an area to massage. |

Development managers need to ask themselves at least these two questions before adopting AJAX on a project. First, will you make up for the time invested in adopting a new technology through increased development speed? And second, will AJAX allow you to offer a more useful application to your users? |

The answer is definitely: Java + XML + XSLT + a new ML, instead of: JavaScript + XML + HTML. But is there any project which take into account all these ideas? Are there any band of developers who are interested in re-inventing a better wheel? |

It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.
