I wouldn't say so, we had quite a few improvements on the traditional  
WebUI in the last year. Eg the ability to create new contacts  
directly in the appointment editor.
Nothing "radical" of course.

Well, and all the work on completely new approaches to the WebUI is  
still done as part of the SOGo branches. Which also has seen major  
developments last year. When this enters a somewhat finished we'll  
see how we can adopt it to regular OGo.

We have DnD or client side tabs in the WebUI since something like  
1999 (using IE5 DHTML). The problem with DHTML/Ajax is that it  
doesn't really work well unless you invest huge amounts of resources  
in cross browser testing / fixes.

That doesn't mean that I'm against "Ajax" in the WebUI :-) Though I  
wonder whether it makes a lot of sense. Going with an IE specific  
DHTML UI *and* a XUL UI is probably less effort and provides better  
results.

Anyways, for discussions we have the discuss mailing list ...

Greets,
