Thin Clients that are easy to program

Thin clients aren't usually easy to program. The difference here is that AwSwing and AwServlet are aware of the UI model(s). So these are not generic thin clients, and that's a great simplifier.

Progress on AwServlet has been rapid. Done in fact, except for forms--which is to say I'm about half done, considering the amount of JavaScript needed for login and register. (Though I expect to crib a lot of that from AgileWiki2.)

One thing I am NOT worrying about right now is the use of the back button on the browser. Handling that properly is a big complicating factor.

Now a bit of good news. It looks like my ISP is willing to host Jakarta. So before May is out you'll be able to access AgileWiki3 web pages and perhaps even download AwSwing via web start for use as a remote client.
