YUI vs jQuery[edit]

From what I gather YUI is the enterprisey answer to jQuery et al? The API docs and the examples are a lot more enterprisey in their language (JavaScript "solutions"?) and the demos are a lot less straightforward and more specific (less emphasis on real life usage, more emphasis on specific functionality). Also the syntax is comparatively unwieldy and verbose whereas jQuery or Prototype try to keep things as simple as possible (the selector is the most obvious example of this -- the reason jQuery and Prototype simply provide "$" as a function is that it's easy to type and probably one of the most often used functions in the bunch).

Also it doesn't seem to put much effort into presentation -- where jQuery UI would dazzle you with prefabricated themes, YUI just gives you Windows 98 era vintage boxes.

Disregarding all that, is there any notable comparison between YUI and other libraries? It SEEMS to be more complete than jQuery plus jQuery UI, but it doesn't seeFor more http://yuilibrary.com/m nearly as easy/fast to use or get into. -- 88.153.36.89 (talk) 01:09, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles[edit]

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...[edit]

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles[edit]

We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts[edit]

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention[edit]

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles[edit]

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.
