Obviously, my participation was related to the NetBeans plugin development =), it provides a template for Yahoo Blueprint Web Project, a sample application for Yahoo Blueprint, a JBlueprint librarie that encapsulates the Yahoo! Blueprint' API components (developed by Eder Magalhães), some Help Documents, an Update Center and the Developers Guide pdf file inside NetBeans.. =)

Our subject wasn't the prize only, our real intention was to build something useful for Java Developers, and make the work with Yahoo APIs easier with the NetBeans plugin and JSF Renderkit, we are planning open the code on java.net soon and attract new developers to this great platform. so stay tunned for more details !!!
