[MTOS-dev] [ProNet] Javascript Library Standardization

[Chad Everett]

I don't disagree with that at all - I'm just saying that a lot of people 
seem to say that the advantage of YUI is that it comes from the Yahoo 
servers, when I'm not sure if that's much of an advantage is all.  I 
think that once it's on a user's PC, it won't make much of a difference 
to the user.  Though since Yahoo does use expire headers, and they 
update it, if the performance is bad, it will be noticeable (yes, you 
can download it and host it yourself - but who will do that?).  If you 
go get something else, and download it, chances are you aren't going to 
update it unless you need to do so.

As to the particular framework, I think that it needs to be a solid 
process if one will be chosen over others.  JavaScript has been a pain 
to me lately, and having to deal with which one is where and what effect 
it has on performance is not my idea of fun right now...
