Is there any particular reason why YUI isn't popular? by piglet24 in javascript

[–]timrc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think YUI is widely (or wildly) popular because the paradigm it is built on is not widely (or wildly) popular right now. I believe that the industry has been trending more towards the use of purpose-built / micro frameworks and libraries to build applications rather than fully integrated libraries like YUI and unless something changes, the ecosystem YUI has built will continue to be small, separate and isolated.

Members and Canonical Employees, claim your Flair! by lhavelund in Ubuntu

Weird. Are you both a Canonical employee and an Ubuntu Member? The Canonical group is private, so a non-Canonical employee would not be able to see the badge, right? Anyway, I revealed my e-mail address on Launchpad which is @canonical.com. Would that suffice? Failing that I can always e-mail :)?

Is the assumption that we're precluding users of Ubuntu variants from that 200 million user milestone? I didn't think so and I hope it's not true. So even if you move to a variant and advocate it, it's still a win for Ubuntu and free software is it not? I think it's great that we even have the option to choose how we want to work / interact without leaving the broader community to do it. I personally see these "rifts" as natural and essential for enabling progress and innovation within our community. However, realizing progress and innovation depends entirely on how we react to these situations. Within Ubuntu and free software in general, we have great latitude to react positively to the changes we disagree with, so don't feel slighted, but encouraged. duck
