James,
We are adding AJAX to Fellowship One, as we develop new or revamp existing functionality, to primarily improve the user experience. Without AJAX, when someone updates a drop-down field, the screen may flash as an update to the form. With AJAX, since only a portion of the form needs to change, the user does not experience the entire redrawing of the screen. We think this, along with adding tags, will greatly improve the user experience and the functional flexibility of the application.
Grace to you,
