Hi,

I want to make a bunch of lists on one page. Each will be paginated  
– some lists will have 10 items, some 3, some 5, etc, and, each will  
be drawn from different data, and each will be updated independently,  
so that when one list is updated, the entire page does not have to be  
updated, only that list.

What’s the best strategy for this? Is it to use a bunch of partials?

Charlie

a bunch of partials and rjs, paginate, and cache it.
