The OpenAjax Alliance is developing an AJAX industry wishlist for future browsers, using a dedicated wiki. The feature list now lists 37 separate feature requests, covering a wide range of technology areas, such as security, Comet, multimedia, CSS, interactivity, and performance. The goal is to inform the browser vendors about what the Ajax developer community feels are most important for the next round of browsers (i.e., FF4, IE9, Safari4, and Opera10) and to provide supplemental details relative to the feature requests.

The initiative is now in its final voting phase, and the alliance is issuing a call-to-action to AJAX developers to vote on which features should have the highest priority. To make the voting process as quick and painless as possible, the voting page lists all 37 feature requests, along with a popup menu for each feature with possible values of 0 (no importance) to 10 (highest importance). The voting period ends on July 10, 2008. To vote, you will need a wiki login (as explained on the wiki home page) and then cast your votes on the Phase II Voting wiki page. The alliance also strongly encourages people to comment on the wiki pages for each of the existing features and to add any important new features that are not yet on the list.

The initiative is open to both OpenAjax Alliance members and to non-members. The alliance especially would like participation from AJAX toolkit developers and leading web developers with expertise in using open browser technologies to achieve rich user experiences. The initiative operates on an honor-system basis.
