Heh, I asked for changes and as they say, be careful what you ask for. :-) I did two such things in 2007 and 2008 using ExtJS (now Sencha). In Ubuntu One I dabbled with some YUI code, nothing systematic though.

That's nice. :-) When I started at Canonical in 2009, it took five months before I could be around some colleagues.
