Hello,

I think all of the users on this forum are very excited for to develop and use Yahoo TV Widgets, However, the examples are lacking. I know that the team is working to make one available.

Is there any other samples that we can look at in the mean time that aren't under any restrictions? I think at the very basic one that points to a web page, uses some images, links, and authentication would be helpful, to me at least.

Even a simple tutorial on creating a widget from scratch would help. The Hello World one was great, but I think there should be a part 2. For example, "Now that you have your hello world widget working, let's add an image icon to the viewport, then the sidebar. After that we'll show you how to get dynamic data to show in the sidebar.".

I am not a developer so maybe I am missing some things here. I often hear how companies want people and mass consumers to start using their tools to help gain critical mass. However, it's hard to do so without working examples, etc, unless you are a pro.

Again, this is an exciting platform but just adding a couple of little things would make it much easier for newbies and perhaps others to start creating the next application marketplace, but on TV's.

thanks
jason
