Though I was initially against the idea of using an AJAX only interface, I now wonder if that might be the direction that we should take. We've already set the requirements of having to use PHP 5 and Drupal 6 rather than having to retrofit the code to those architectures.

Since according to w3schools.com roughly 95% of browsers in 2008 have javascript enabled and acko.net claims that roughly 8% of the Drupal 6 codebase is javascript, would it be acceptable to everyone to move over to an AJAX only interface for Plugin Manager?

I personally feel that it would make the code cleaner and feel more responsive (being able to work with a form in JavaScript, rather than having to continually generate new pages.)

I think that if we do this (and I am very much in favor of it), we need to keep a minimally functional non-ajax dependent page, to which users w/o js can be directed.
