I'm not sure what I think about using ajax based widgets. In theory, I like the idea, but I don't think it's a good idea for all of Koha to bust if someone has their Jscript turned off. Includes might be a decent compromise though. I think we do need to cut down on how much code is duplicated across different modules (or even in the same module in some cases).
Yeah, I keep forgetting that we need Koha to function without javascript ; ) I think includes will be the way to go. We can even make the includes more function-like by defining blocks within the .inc files so we can pass in different data. That way we can use the same block for different data loops on the same page. http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Directives.html#section_INCLUDE Another thing we might do to simplify is to use TT's WRAPPER directive. We can put everything from <body> up, and the bottom include in the wrapper. We can then include a block that gets defined within a given template for including javascript or other .inc files within the header.
