Can't wait! Awesome news.

Great, sounds like 2015 will be the year to come back to purecss.io - The minimal responsive menu is long awaited by many!

looking forward to this...

Removal of vendor-prefixing from source.
Does that mean I can replace pure-g with my-prefix-g? Thanks.
looking forward ......

@trungpham, no. Removing vendor-prefixing from source will mean that the source files will no longer have manually inserted -webkit-, -moz-, or other vendor prefixes in CSS properties. The pure- prefix in CSS classnames will remain. It is easily customizable via post-processing; in the future we may make it configurable via a pre-processing variable.
For more information see http://purecss.io/tools/#mutating-selectors

Bueno!
Merci!
It is good to see that you intend keeping pure simple and clean! Thank you!

Quick update to this roadmap: For 0.6 I have incorporated more bug fixes and PRs than I originally thought possible. I'm really trying to make Pure current. I had thought I wouldn't get to many of the legacy issues and PRs until next quarter, but I'm doing my best to bring as many no-brainer fixes into 0.6 as possible, rather than offloading them to a future release.
Closing in....

Hey @jamesalley and others,
are there any plans / ideas to create an add on for "Materialized Design" or support it in general? I am also interested if there is a 3rd party project - couldn't find one so far.
No.
I am considering working on a theming layer for Pure. When I do that, I won't be prioritizing Material Design (after all, I work at Yahoo, not Google). But, perhaps I will explore a Material Design -like theme as a way of proving the theming system. It's a good use-case. But it won't be a priority. Don't hold your breath for it. Thank you for the suggestion though, I will keep it in mind.
Thanks @jamesalley
Actually I am not really a huge fan of MD, but I some of my customers are. I recommend purecss at the moment. However I am looking forward to such a theming layer. If its easy to work with, one can create MD own their own.
:+1: thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you. I've been searching for good CSS as a foundation for consistent style on my new Laravel websites. Pure looks like the answer.
Great to hear about the plan, as it sometimes has seemed that this project might be left without attention from the organisation that governs it.
Since I am using autoprefixer
for those vendor specific things, I am happy to hear that they have been dropped from the source.
Support is getting good enough for a lot of those prefixable things anyway nowadays like border-radius
+1 A year ago i think there was a theme generator on the site based on a primary color, what would the best way to theme pure nowadays?and Thanks for pure!
Q2 passed with no 0.7.0 release and now it is the middle of Q3. What happened to project? Is it still alive?
Pure is still alive, but don't expect a lot of changes. It's stable and useful. It will never grow into a full-blown component library with tons of features. It likely will remain close to its current form for some time to come, with only minor bug fixes. Right now, there are some bugs we want to fix, but they are small bugs with the Pure website, not with Pure itself.
We'll probably have to revise the roadmap or the expectations for the year.
The YUI theme generator is gone now that YUI is gone. The guy who supported that piece left Yahoo about a year ago.
Well, that's a quite disappointing answer for the 12.000+ users who starred Pure :(
Not to beat on the dead horse too much, but starring a repo is about the same as helping the hunger in Africa by just liking Facebook posts about it. It's real value is incredibly restricted.
I'd be willing to contribute cold hard recurring cash to a community fund to speed up this project's development, as I've learned that most of the time it helps grease the wheels. But someone would still have to lead an effort like that and I don't really know who it could be. I would even contribute workforce from my company if there was a business model in it. @jamesalley thoughts?
For the 12,000 star people, what are YOU willing to do to help this project go further? Ain't nobody else out there but us.
+1 to contribute cash to a community fund
+1 for financial support given focused effort
What features are missing or needed that everybody is waiting on right now? Seems like there is urgency to keep iterating on the project but not sure what exactly is needed.
Let me try to put a more positive spin on this: Pure isn't dead: it's stable! ;-)
@jamesalley I love your thinking, but time for a 1.0 release then ;)
What features are missing or needed that everybody is waiting on right now? Seems like there is urgency to keep iterating on the project but not sure what exactly is needed.
That's a valid q. Do github issues have an easy way to display and sort issues by subscriber count? Other than that, some sort of a poll/vote thing would be needed.
@lkraav this is a starting point https://api.github.com/repos/yahoo/pure/issues?state=open&sort=comments&direction=desc
@lplume nice tip. No GUI form available yet I guess?
@lkraav nope afaik, i can prepare a simple python script, which output title n.comments and link
I'm gonna post tomorrow the script and its output.. Hope it will be useful :-/ anyway, I love how pure is "basic" and how it can be mixed/expanded: that's why pure is pure and it's awesome and unique! What about a community driven set of theme, plugins etc? That would be great!
There is nothing preventing community driven theme and plugins, these things should stay out of Pure proper to keep it lean and smalls. Proper documentation could be added to the Pure readme to help in discoverability.
Going to close this issue because its out of date now (almost 2017) and some of the points originally made by James have already been done:
I still see 1.0 being valuable but more discussion will need to be done about when and what that entails. For now, I plan to help with patch releases of minor issues. More details of the roadmap and progress will be in https://github.com/yahoo/pure/issues/557
James Alley – Welcome to Pure!
Pure Roadmap 2015
During the latter part of 2014, Pure has cruised along. Pull requests have come in, people have filed issues, and in some cases we've taken the time to integrate the changes or comment. Meanwhile, we have focused on some exciting new efforts, quite separate from Pure, which will bear fruit in the coming year. But it's time to dive back into Pure, and to share with everyone our roadmap for Pure in 2015.
The Scope and Vision for Pure
We still intend to keep Pure small, focused, and useful to any web project. We intend to refine and maintain Pure, rather than radically expand its scope. Pointedly, Pure will not expand to become a library of drop-in UI components. Rather, it will remain a foundation with a "ridiculously tiny" footprint that developers use as a starting point for writing their own CSS.
There has been some discussion on whether Pure should expand to become a component library, replete with segmented controls, drop-downs, tab-views, etc. We perhaps contributed to this perception by including a paginator component. Why do so, if Pure is more about smoothing the foundation than creating components?
For inclusion in Pure, a construct must meet the following criteria:
In other words, we're looking for stuff that everyone needs and yet finds difficult to implement with the proper semantics, accessibility (including keyboard access), and browser support. In fact, for these reasons, in the upcoming 0.6 release, we're removing the Paginator component. Pagination is not common enough, many sites use infinite scrolling, and it's trivial to implement yourself using inlined button-styled anchors. But this can be a gray area. We don't scientifically evaluate the 80% rule; difficulty and triviality are obviously subjective. So we welcome suggestions and the discussions they will spark.
About Those Pull Requests...
Incidentally, we cannot merge some very good PRs due to a lack of a CLA (license) on file for the contributor. Please don't let this discourage you! To take care of the CLA, simply follow the link to sign electronically. (https://yahoocla.herokuapp.com)
The Road to 1.0
The community has battle-tested Pure and provided feedback. In addition to incorporating bug fixes into Pure, we wish to focus on five areas of refinement before we declare Pure ready for a 1.0 stamp, whereby we begin to guarantee backwards compatibility through all subsequent 1.x releases.
Of course, our backlog of issues and PRs may also surface important changes we'll want to incorporate into Pure as well. As the outline below illustrates, even without an ambitious expansion of Pure, plenty of tasks lay ahead 2015. Without further ado, then, here's our plan, organized into three-month quarters.
Q1. Pure 0.6
Q2. Servicing feature requests
Q3. Pure 1.0 Release, and Components
Release 1.0.
Q4. Post 1.0
Per semantic versioning, 1.0 will be our signal to the world that backwards compatibility will be assured in future 1.x versions. Should the need arise to break backwards compatibility with 1.0, we will increment to 2.x releases.
And that's it! We hope you have found Pure to be useful and unobtrusive, and that you look forward to Pure's continued improvement. To provide feedback, please comment on this GitHub issue, or file a new issue to have it tracked as a separate thread.
