Sure.

Yeah, it's been a while since anyone seriously worked on that.

It's a good idea with the advantages you mentioned. One disadvantage
however is that you'll always need to be online, and you are dependent
for your own application on other servers being available (Yahoo).
Personaly, I wouldn't like that, and I also think this works better
for public sites than internal/ intranet sites.

It would be cool if people took up the yui project and did something
nice with it. I can think of a lot of nice goodies, and I think the
current code can use a lot of cleanup (never really got a decent code
review), but I simply lack the time. A new date picker based on YUI is
now in wicket-datetime, but other widgets are begging to be developed
by someone.

David, if you send us your sourceforge id, (not the literal id, but
the name, like mine is eelco12), we can give you commit rights, and
you can decide for yourself whether and when you play with it.

Cheers,

Eelco
