The YUI Community

Development on the Yahoo! User Interface Library began in 2005 at Yahoo!, and the Libary was released for public use under a BSD License in February, 2006. In the years since its release, YUI has been put to use by tens of thousands of developers around the world and a committed, passionate community has formed among its implementers.

Beginning in the summer of 2008, YUI opened up to limited external contributions, and upcoming releases will begin to express the creativity and energy of the growing contributor community.

We invite you to join our communities of implementers and contributors as you explore the YUI Library and put it to use in your own work.

Implementers:

YUI General Discussion Forum

YUI implementers from all around the world discuss their YUI implementations on this vibrant, active forum. Come learn from the collective wisdom of this 10,000-strong community and search more than two years' of posts for solutions to your specific problem.

YUI Doc Discussion Forum

If you're using the preview release of YUI's documentation tool YUI Doc, please join us in its dedicated discussion forum on YUILibrary.com.

YUI 3.x Discussion Forum

YUI's next-generation JavaScript core will be available in a preview release soon — and the development team will be looking forward to your feedback.

Contributors:

YUI Contributors Discussion Forum

If you are interested in joining the discussion forum for YUI contributors, please email contrib@yuilibrary.com. In your message, let us know what contributions you're interested in making to the library and what your experience with YUI has been to-date. To be approved for the YUI Contributors Discussion Forum, you must provide your YUILibrary.com ID in this email. If you've returned a CLA already, please make a note of that as well.

Become a YUI Contributor

The best way to get involved with YUI as a contributor today is to sign a CLA. Once you've signed a CLA, you should join the contributors discussion forum, propose the changes you'd like to work on, and find a committer who will sponsor your changes (provide any necessary guidance, do code reviews, and commit the changes). In October 2008, we plan to provide a more robust and convenient set of contributor tools to make the contribution process simpler. You'll see that announced on YUIBlog and here on the YUI website as soon as it's ready.

2008 YUI Community Awards

Five members of the YUI Community were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the community this year. Check out YUIBlog for more on these amazing individuals.
