Over at Tech.pro, Dan Wellman (@danwellman) recently posted a series of 15 video tutorials covering many things in YUI, including: the global object, Node, Event, Widget, and more. Video tutorials such as these, and Kevin Lamping's YUI 3's Use and Add Methods are great ways to contribute to the project. If you have experience creating video tutorials, or it is just something that interests you, let us know and we can help you get started with some ideas.
