Optimizing an Ajax based website for Google Search

I would really like to hear your opinions about search engine optimizations for an Ajax based website.

The study case is the following:

What are your SEO hints for such an application?

Many thanks.

My rule of thumb is that search engines see what Lynx sees, and Lynx doesn't see a list of software projects. Thus, this page should add a non-AJAX interface (using <noscript>?), perhaps with reduced functionality but with all the information there.

If a search bot has to execute an event in order to get code from a server and then know where and how the DOM has changed then I would say to merely write accessible code. However, a search bot cannot do any of those things and AJAX defeats accessibility, so you can improve SEO dramatically by forgetting AJAX or instead forgetting SEO.
