Hello Alfresco Community!We're starting a new project and looking to use Alfresco/Share as our framework. We have been studying both YUI 2.x and YUI 3.x.

Questions about YUI 3.x come up every couple of months or so (e.g. see https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=43773)

Our position with Share remains the same: we have no plans to completely refactor Share from YUI 2.9.0 to YUI 3.x.

Your question is slightly different however, in that you're asking

Is it possible to use the share UI and develop custom functionality with mixing in YUI 3.x or do we need to stay pure YUI 2.x?

to which the answer is "yes, you can mix". Last time I looked at one of the YAHOO developer sites (I forget which one) it was combining YUI 2.x and 3.x. I suspect that's because components such as the DataTable hadn't been migrated yet, so that might not be the case any more.

In summary: Yes, you can use both YUI 2.x and 3.x on the same page. You can go wild an use jQuery too - they all play nicely together these days

Thanks,
Mike
