Yahoo! have acknowledged this is a problem on their side:

update 2nd November 2011: I am no longer seeing this error message, and Yahoo! have removed the notice from their help page. Looks like the issue has been resolved!

Some examples:

• perl
• “Dave Grohl”
• “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

The big idea here is that we’ll have the whole platform open sourced by mid-next year, and as soon as possible we’ll have many of the services we’ve written open sourced, as well as the APIs needed to write new services. Our goal is to empower the community to contribute actual patches and new services – code to compliment the feedback.

• Yahoo! will open source BrowserPlus! – YDN Forums
• BrowserPlus™

BOSS – Build (your) Own Search Service is Yahoo’s new API which allows you to build a search engine based on our systems. It is one of the first steps to make Yahoo! much more open for you to enhance and customize our offers for yourself.

During the BOSS hack event you will be able to meet the team, learn all about the API and have a first go at building your own search engine in a matter of minutes.

The new beta of Yahoo! Calendar now supports the CalDAV protocol, meaning that sharing and synchronizing with desktop calendaring applications is possible.

iCal has supported CalDAV since version 3.0 shipped with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, so it is possible to get it working with Yahoo! Calendar. After completing the following steps, any events that you create in the web-based Calendar will be replicated to iCal, and vice-versa.

What you will need:

• A Yahoo! account. In the example, we use the username yahoouser
• Access to the new Calendar Beta.
• iCal version 3 or above

Step 1:

• In iCal, select the Preferences… from the iCal menu.
• Click on the Accounts icon

• Click on the plus button to create a new CalDAV account
• Enter a description, such as Yahoo! Calendar, your Yahoo! username and password.
• Click the Server Options link and enter the following into the Account URL field:

https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com

• Click the Add button.

Your Yahoo! Calendar should now be synchronized with iCal, refreshing every 15 minutes: you should see it listed on the left hand side of your iCal window underneath the calendars stored on your Mac.
