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
