Yahoo! UI (YUI) + Django templates == Google Code project! FTW!
Let me first preface this blog by saying that I’m not a designer. When it comes to art and creativity, I’m so left brained, I actually wonder if my right brain even partakes in the process.
Three things spurred me to release django-yui-layout-templates.
- I’ve always wanted to see what GoogleCode offered in relation to SourceForge / RubyForge.
- I’m so caught up in corporate America staring at Java / Ruby code all day, not only haven’t I blogged about anything Django related in quite a while, but it’s nice to get some commentary from the community, i.e. “your code sucks”. (Brings me back to reality)
- I found myself using the same templates on a variety of projects and figured that I could do my part and help eliminate unncessary cruft/duplication.
So without further adieu, check out the project here. I know, I know - nothing revolutionary here, but I figure since Django is picking up some steam, these templates might help a Djangonaut get a head start on their next million dollar idea.

Very clever idea! I’m using Django + YUI (manually), so I’ll have to give this a whirl.
