Re: Today's quick check of ubiquity

Hi Leigh,

Sorry, I've just realised that you are right, and the steps outlined
in UsingTheLibrary won't yet work, since all of the paths in the 0.1
version are relative to the document.

The 0.2 branch is nearly complete, and the main change is that it uses
the YUI module loader, and uses absolute paths.

Apologies for misleading you, earlier. :)

Mark
