The initial scope of the project will include client-side widgets and other utilities from the Zimbra AjaxTK, as described in 0.1.

OK.

In addition, the Kabuki project will also include server-side infrastructure to facilitate the AJAX programming model.

In the current download (http://www.zimbra.com/community/ajaxtk_download.html), all samples are designed to be shown only in the context of a JSP-enabled servlet container, even though the samples don't require one per se.

Such server-side components may include resource aggregation and delivery, user authorization, application event notification, etc. Since XML is used for communication and HTTP is used as the transport, the client-side toolkit is not tied to any particular programming language.

Why then the reliance on JSP for the delivery of the samples? IMHO, that somehow rises (if only slightly) the barrier for people exploring the actual donation. And from the description of the scope, I understand the idea is to make sure the Ajax client library and widgets are independent from any server-side runtime execution context.
