YUI: Open Hours Thurs Dec 1st

YUI 3.5.0 Roadmap

Now that YUIConf 2011 is over (and it was awesome!), the team is back to the grindstone, working on 3.5.0.

We’ve outlined the high level goals for the release, and we can talk about some of them, but what we’d like to focus on in this Open Hours are some new methods for sharing and engaging with the community in the design phase of this work. In particular, you’ll see more Pull Requests and Gists from the YUI team to forecast new development and steer ongoing development on our respective development forks and branches.

Here are some of the current ongoing discussions that are open for your feedback:

• DataTable design overview
• Button Proposal — CSS-only buttons and Y.Button (source and examples)
• Y.WidgetStringRenderer — Renders Widgets to HTML strings instead of DOM nodes
• Y.App — A top-level application component which manages navigation and views
• App Framework URL Jazz
• Yeti Next

We’d like to get your feedback in these forums, your own gists and pull requests, and your suggestions for other ways that we can make 3.5.0 the most transparent and collaborative release yet!

Time & Details

We’ll be online on Thursday from 10am to 11am PST.

   I was unable to attend the hours but reviewed the recording. Like some of the others I like the idea of open public comment on design ideas for the early development via Github gists (as for DT and Button) or some other public avenue.

   How will the links for these public forums be advertised? Presently we need to know the “gist” number, is there a way the YUI Docs or other location where development comment URLs could be easy to find?

   Thanks

   @Todd: We’ll probably start using the GitHub wiki associated with the YUI 3 repo to consolidate links and summaries for design discussions, gists, pull requests, etc. We’ll also start using Twitter and blog posts to drive more traffic to these discussions.
