[Knut Staring <knutst@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think we probably need to keep both Ext and Jquery - and it looks
like the two can work together:
http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?56724-ExtJS-and-JQuery-working-together

The GIS module is making good progress, though it will necessarily
continue to be a bit heavy. Important to set up the webserver to serve
it Gzipped (I seem to have trouble getting that to work with Tomcat).

It will be cool when we can have all the maps in the database as
GeoJSON. This will also make it easier to include maps elsewhere in
the application, for example in the dashboard and in the OrgUnit
managment interfaces. For this one could do without Ext, and just use
a) OpenLayers, b) SVG, or c) even HTML ImageMaps, as Dutch national
health atlas are doing:

Came across a Jquery wrapper for OpenLayers:
