AJAX elements
Like any other interactive site, Diaspora should be dynamic. What to know about a new message in the dialogues need to refresh the page, or check e-mail. This is just one example.
At the moment, it is worth thinking about dynamically loadable data. On the rails platform to do it is not even difficult. Suggest a poll to find out what the need of this functional.
Sorry for bad english :)

Hosting costs will further come down. So lets have it.

This can make many parts of the app faster. There is efforts with backbone, but it needs a push. Maybe agreeing on this proposal can help things go forward.

I am not against ajax-requests. In fact I love them. But this proposal is somehow pointless, since there is no other decision that hinders programmers to build ajax-requests. If you want it, build it or create issues and give some bounty to them.

Facebook use slow requests, but it requires some web server settings and not easy. I think that is enough to make a request for updates at intervals using JavaScript

I don't think we need this poll. We are already porting parts of the website to backbone.js which renders everything on the client side and makes it much easier to dynamically load new data.
We already have a few issues on github:
https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/3890
https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/4206
are just two examples.
There are also some discussions here on loomio:
https://www.loomio.org/d/5B8I2xzG/automatic-refreshing-of-content
https://www.loomio.org/d/yeUN4jIi/diaspora-dynamic-notifications-and-messages
I don't think we need to open another thread about this and I especially think that we don't need another proposal.

I think we need accelerate this process. My friends who do not work in IT and do not know how to construct sites inside, they say that they lack the this "little things". And do not want to use the Diaspora, of course

As Steffen says, this functionality has been worked on for some time and is already slowly being implemented, so there's no need for a further discussion or vote at this point.

The important thing is: Is there anyone willing to implement this and can this be done in a way to have the additional load imposed on the server minimal / the feature optional for pods with very few ressources.
