Comment:
Since this ticket is still sitting around unclosed, I thought I'd fill in
a little history for [http://profiles.wordpress.org/chexee chexee] and
anyone else who might come across it.
Scribu's [http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/silviu-cristian-burca-ajaxify-
admin/ 2010 GSOC project] was to "Ajaxify" the admin interface, and he had
much success. So much, in fact, that his patches were included in the
first alphas & release candidates of WordPress 3.1. As this ticket relates
to version 3.1, I can only assume the patches apply to those versions as
well. However, these changes introduced
[http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2011/01/24/wordpress-3-1-rc3-released/
"bugs and usability issues"] so they were removed from WordPress 3.1R3.
From my own research into this, I will add that this change isn't as
simple as bolting some Javascript on top of the WordPress admin. I mean,
you probably could, but it would be sub-optimal from a performance & UX
standpoint. Doing it right would require refactoring legacy PHP code,
especially wp-admin/edit.php, to render admin page as partials which can
also be invoked from an wp_ajax_* hook. That refactoring should come
first, and tested throughly for regression issues. Only then should AJAX
functionality be added, maybe even as part of a different point release
entirely.
