was trying to find another thread to put this in, but it's important enough for it's own.

simply put, this guy is incredible - http://www.jackslocum.com/yui/
he uses the Yahoo UI Library as a base and builds demos and applications on top of it, and integrates them into his own website when possible.

for example, he built a brand new commenting system for his Wordpress blog that's now integrated over his whole site. http://www.jackslocum.com/yui/2006/10/09/my-wordpress-comments-system-built-with-yahoo-ui-and-yahooext/
you can argue that it's too complicated or clutters things up (as it does, on purpose, on that particular post), but whatever you think, it's an amazing proof-of-concept.

his latest post is about making fully cross-platform layouts, built on a solid javascript library. Using the library, you can add single CSS elements to a class, for example, to make a whole DIV act as a panel or frame, resizable and collapsable. it will also handle automatic tab creation inside panels

he also runs a phpBB forum - http://www.jackslocum.com/forum/ - no big deal
but he's building a entirely new frontend interface for the forum using all his techniques - http://www.jackslocum.com/forum2/ .... just awesome

i really like his use of in-window tabs, like the new Yahoo Mail uses. i think these could be used in a lot of webapps

On the Ajax forum, the threads aren't scrollable for me (using Safari).
