javascript templating

does nopcommerce (is planning to use) use some javascript templating technology like: http://knockoutjs.com/ or http://mustache.github.com/ ? Thanks@

Currently no. One work item is here. Do you have any certain suggestions where it should be used? There should be a certain reason why and place where it should be used (not just because everybody use it today)

totally agree with you andrei that their should be a good reason to use javascript templating, not just because it is hot.

One of the usages for it that I see is for example the featured product rotator on the homepage.
Many webshops will use this features, but everyone probably wants a different jquery rotator plugin/script.

I know I can easily fork a plugin to achieve this, but I guess your average HTML/CSS/JS coder does not feel comfortable with changing MVC code. Having a generic rotator plugin which output is configurable by a frontend developer by simply editing a txt template seems a good solution to me ;-)

Could you give me three strong reasons why you offer this feature? and three reasons why it should be used?
