Jack made his Monday deadline and released an alpha version of Ext (formerly YUI-Ext, more on that in a second). Check it out. As with any alpha release he gives some warnings saying that a lot has changed and lots of old code will break. Also he notes that not much of it has been documented yet.
Another announcement yesterday on jQuery’s blog states that Ext will now support jQuery as a base instead of YUI, users will have their pick.
jQuery is certainly a lot more lean than YUI which may lead to Domino YUI becoming Domino Ext, which perhaps better fits it anyway. Either way I’ll get cracking on the new code and try to push a new version out soon.

The jQuery thing looks pretty interesting. Have you done much with it? Anything to make the code size smaller is a big plus. Oh, by the way, I really like the look you’ve done to your site!

I haven’t done too much with jQuery. At one point I went through just about every popular framework to play with them a bit. It struck me as a pretty good base, but at the time I was really into prototype/scriptaculous so I didn’t give it too much of a chance.
I’ll surely play around with it some more before I make the final decision to change things over.
