[Seaside] [2.8][Async]Session time hangs

No, not at all.

The Seaside side is currently supported and up-to-date. From the
Javascript side the PrototypeJS part is obviously still active (but no
major releases recently) and the script.aculo.us part is dead (no
release at all in the past year).

JQuery.

Keep in mind, in both cases we do not control or work on the
Javascript side. Prototype, script.aculo.us, JQuery, and JQueryUI are
all general purpose libraries, they are not specific to Seaside. We
just integrate into Seaside whatever their developers provide. As such
these frameworks are extremely powerful, in some cases maybe a bit too
powerful ... Although everything happens in Smalltalk, you certainly
need to go through a few Javascript tutorials before you get
productive.

Cheers,
Lukas
