I know a University of Massachusetts student who is very interested in putting his interest in Ajax to work for the Drupal SoC program. His basic project idea is to use Ajax to lower bandwidth and minimize whoe page generations. For example, the vote.moduel displays a poll in a block and the user makes a selection and clicks on "Vote." It's overkill to make a visit to index.php to regenrate an entire page simply to display the poll results when they could get redisplayed in the block with Ajax. There are probably dozens of other examples like this. So this is not "ajax for ajax sake." It will help reduce server load. I'd like to help find a mentor for the student, someone who knows more about Ajax than I do and who can help him think up concrete ideas for using Ajax with Drupal to minimize server load to put into a proposal. Please email me and I'll put you in touch with him.
