I'm trying to get an existing YUI plugin to work...
I have read the page at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/How_to_create_a_YUI_3_module and the plugin I have does indeed look like the examples - I have set up my yui/pluginname directories, named it accordingly and it seems to get loaded.
I am a bit confused with the init script though. All the examples seem to simply return an instance of the plugin. I don't know what to do with it. I need to write some 'Y.on(...' code to actually bind (if that's the word) to a css class. Where do I put that code?
Actually - forget that. The issue seems to be that the module isn't even getting loaded. The Firebug console says:
loader: Undefined module: moodle-theme_learningchannel-corners
OK , I have a file theme/learningchannel/yui/corners/corners.js and it kicks off with the line..
YUI.add('moodle-theme_learningchannel-corners', function(Y) {...
I can muck about with the file names and make deliberate errors in the js as much as I like and it makes no difference so it appears not to be loading that corners.js file.
Hmmmm... I'm a bit stuck.

That's an interesting problem, Howard. I haven't used YUI 3 in this way much, but I have a lot in the "static" way, as the doc you reference mentions.
Without seeing the rest of your code the only thing I can add is to ask if you have something like:
$PAGE->requires->yui_module('moodle-local_hub-comments', 'M.local_hub.init_comments',
array(array('commentids' => '1 , 23 ,45')));
in one of your php files (with your appropriate parameters)?
