YUI: Open Hours Thurs August 18th
By Luke SmithAugust 15th, 2011
Welcome to the new yuilibrary.com!
In parallel with the 3.4.0 release, the new and improved YUILibrary.com site is going live! The new site is unified, better organized, and has a fresh look and feel.
Look for an upcoming post about the site details, but join the Open Hours Connect room this Thursday morning to get a first-look guided tour by Ryan Grove and the other folks that made this a reality. We’ll be talking about the site design, backend setup, future plans, community opportunities, and checking out all the new features we can cram into an hour, including the new API docs interface.
We’ve been working our tails off to get this thing ready to launch and we couldn’t be happier to see it finally make its home on yuilibrary.com. Come celebrate the inauguration, give feedback (good and bad), and learn ways you can help make the new site the best it can be for you and for the greater YUI community.
Time & Details
This week, we’re not going to use a conference bridge. Instead, we’re going to host the session entirely on Adobe Connect, including the audio. We’ll use the Connect chat to manage questions or use Connect’s built in audio support for more in-depth discussions.
We’ll be online in the Open Hours room from 10am to 11am PDT Thursday.
Update: video available for download
The high-res, iOS friendly recording is available for download.

Awesome, looks pretty good!
When should we expect 3.4.0 release?
August 16, 2011 at 10:14 am
3.4.0 release is this week!

And one more question: would it be possible to run App Framework in 3.4.0 on NodeJS? Is that planned for this week too?

@Peter: Yep, the Model, ModelList, and View components of the App Framework work great in Node.js.
Controller currently only provides client-side routing using HTML5 history and hashchange events, so it doesn’t make much sense on the server, but we’ll be investigating ways to provide useful server-side functionality using Controller in the future.

Why don’t you link to the site you’re so proud of launching?

An actual link to YUILibrary.com in the article would be nice :)

Do you guys have a policy of not linking to yourself? There is not a single clickable linke to yuilibrary.com though I can see it being mentioned at least 3 times!!!

This blog post was posted before the site actually went live. It’s an announcement for an Open Hours session previewing the new site, which we couldn’t link to because there was nothing to link to yet.
I’ve updated the post with a link, since the site is live now.
