[hyperkitty-devel] AJAX Calls!

[Aamir Khan]

Hey!

I encountered an interesting article [1] about making websites that uses a
lot of AJAX. I would like to discuss point 1 & 2 of the first answer with
all the hyperkitty developers.  As I was coding the features like
voteup/down, tags, I realized that Django is not the best framework for
websites which wants to use a lot of AJAX and the reason is for every call
you make you will need to create a URL is urls.py and a lot of code needs
to be duplicated, IMO. In point 1, he says that we should have an RPC
mechanism which will allow us to execute arbitrary functions on the
backend. Let's consider the case we have 50 functions in views/ajax.py and
each returns json encoded results but normally we will have to create 50
separate entries in urls.py for each function to work and as we add more
functionality.

My question is, how do you think we can arbitrarily execute server side
code (with proper permissions) without need of putting it in urls.py ?
