Woah. Ext, another Javascript library has introduced a simple text editor that takes up only 12K. Ext also has added a Calendar function (we user YUI's right now) so if it ever comes time for a reevaluation of our JS libaries, Ext is in the race too for sure.

The Yahoo UI AJAX toolkit has introduced a rich text editor (still in beta) along with a number of other goodies outlined here on Ajaxian. Although we're very happy with TinyMCE and MochiKit, we could see the day when we transition fully to the Yahoo toolkit. But not soon, there's way to many things to test and way to much optimization done to this point ;-)

I'm just blown away by the stuff Jack Slocum is doing with the Yahoo UI javascript library.

Yahoo has added a Python Developer Center to their Developer Network (tip: Slashdot):

Welcome to the Python Developer Center

Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. This site is your source for information about using Python with Yahoo! Web Services APIs. Here you'll find:

• HOWTO Articles to help you understand our technologies and how you can use them better with Python.
• Useful Resources on the web where you can find source code and helpful tools.
• Educational sites where you can learn how to program using Python.
• Community Resources where you can join our mailing list and discuss the Yahoo! APIs with us and with other Python developers.

Pretty cool. We originally were using Yahoo Maps when we started adding mapping extensions to the BlogMatrix Platform. However, the maturity wasn't there and due to client demands we migrated to Google. That's not to say we didn't like Yahoo; they're a hell of a lot easier to get an answer out of and they have lots of other great APIs, services and libraries -- such as the Javascript Yahoo UI library, which this site does use -- available.

Update: g*dd*mn*t. no RSS feed. Get it together guys.
