YUI3 - thoughts?

[joedev]

Hi Guys and Gals,

I am wondering if any of you have experiences, thoughts and critique
of YUI3 that you could share with me?
I am considering to start using it extensively for a variety of
projects, but would appreciate your input.

Best Regards,
Joe

It is still beta, but judging from
<http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/examples/yui/yui-core_clean.html>, it is
still much too bloated, thus not to be recommended. They can't be serious
that this simple example requires a download of 39 KiB of script code alone,
even though that code is the "minimized" version.

If you want to use a signature you should not use Google Groups, but a
locally installed newsreader application instead (I can recommend
Thunderbird/Icedove and KNews). Properly delimited signatures (with
`--<SP><CR><LF>', so not yours) are currently impossible with GG due to a bug.

If you want to use a signature you should not use Google Groups, but a
locally installed newsreader application instead (I can recommend
Thunderbird/Icedove and KNews). Properly delimited signatures (with
`--<SP><CR><LF>', so not yours) are currently impossible with GG due to a bug.

(A) If everyone were to follow that recommendation, no-one would ever
know if Google fixed the bug.

(B) You mis-describe the delimiter :
(i) the following --
matches your description, but does not match an accurate
description.
(ii) at the user interface, <CR><LF> is not mandatory; and the
user cannot control the internal representation of newline,
<CR><LF> is of course what must be transmitted,
(iii) "'-- ' on a line of its own" may be the simplest
user-facing description.
(C) If the delimiter had been intended to be only detectable by
software, the sages could have chosen such as ' '. The chosen pattern
'-- ' is also easily and usefully recognised by human readers, even if
the space is missing.

You should not criticise the sigs of others while you are not using a
well-formed one yourself.

My sig is well-formed.
