Livelets

The idea of this extension is to allow live articles to be transcluded which update automatically on change in a non-polling, fully event-driven way. It will use the parser-functions syntax to make it very similar in usage to normal templates.

Examples & Usage Ideas

• Forms: Allowing forms to be submitted which can be posted to the server without reloading the page. Any items which may change are made into live templates.
• Caching: Normal templates which are used across many articles like those which include category links would be far more efficient when wrapped inside a live template.
• Collaboration: The edit form could be modified to post the form without reloading the page, and to have a live preview of the content which would make article editing much more chat-like.
• Channels: having live content opens up the whole channel aspect...
