Technical details
At Yale, we've been working to integrate some Ajax-style interface features into uPortal 2.5 (DLM + Rutger's xhtml theme). I'd initially used Scriptaculous for the proof of concept, but I think in the long run dojo is a better choice.

We're currently using two servlets for ajax calls. The first is a preferences servlet that persists all the additions/moves/etc. It accepts the same parameters the built-in preferences page uses. For operations that create a new node, the servlet sends back the ID of the new node.� The second retrieves the list of available channels for the add channel menu.
I'm hoping we'll be able to have a demo up soon.
In the meantime, I've attached a couple screenshots.
