To the YUI team -<p>First - thank you for your amazing work. I've put YUI to use in many projects.<p>Second - tiny bit of feedback about yuilibrary.com - I know you have your own CDN but can we have back a "Download" button? I hate it when I have to search for 5 minutes to find out how to download something. It really makes me feel like the whole project is going to be a pain in the ass when even downloading it is hard.
Site looks better. +1 for [Download] button.<p>I use YUI mainly for table/grid widget - I preferred API design in YUI3 but found various table UI bugs when I 'mixed in' sortable and resize columns etc... This meant I had to go back to YUI2. I remember this experience as amorphic 'yui pain'.<p>Hopefully in current/3.4 the DataGrid is now fixed with official plugins working in unison?<p>Some thoughts :<p>YUI really needs one core person with an iron fist and a clear goal driving it forward. It feels like it has the guts of something incredibly useful, but is being pulled in too many directions.<p>In a large company its tempting to think ' we better keep that for Sandras or Simons team' .. dont do that... think like a startup and throw bad shit away :]<p>I can live with the verboseness if the Widgets are really nice - and thats a way to get HTML5/js/web-startup developers thinking about Yahoo again.<p>Some ideas -<p>Be ambitious upstarts, dont ask permission to kickass.<p>Give the team autonomy / ie. a virtual startup within Yahoo.
Maybe split off a team or an Open Source startup ?<p>Demand all Yahoo use latest YUI by religious edict from on high [ Doug ? ]<p>Consider mobile?<p>Drop the legacy crud, get rid of any fallbacks, burn the bridges!<p>One Unified example, or a framework / app-designer as the canonical YUI demo
All of a sudden with all of rgrove's (YUI's) interaction, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about using YUI again. Great customer service <i>does</i> make a difference.
While YUI is probably one of the best JS frameworks around the sloppy design of their webpage beats me. the yuilibrary.com looks so 90ish in its design.
Does YUI have anything along the lines of extjs' tree grid[1]? Or possibly a road-map with a pertinent entry?<p>[1] <a href="http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.2a/examples/tree/treegrid.html" rel="nofollow">http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0.2a/examples/tree/treegr...</a>
I know it's really not that hard to copy & paste it, or just type it in, but I'm a little surprised that this blog post didn't have "yuilibrary.com" as a simple link to itself. For usability, SEO and all.
Is that just me or the Todo app example (<a href="http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/app/app-todo.html" rel="nofollow">http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/app/app-todo.html</a>) was scraped from Backbone's examples (<a href="http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/examples/todos/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/examples/todos/inde...</a>)?
