A couple of months ago I wrote an enthusiastic post about Yahoo! hiring a dev to work on Firebug. I was hoping that means YSlow will be released sooner. But since then they hadn't talked about it.
In the meantime Nate Koechley announced the YSlow tool at the @media2007 conference in London (June 7th-8th)
It looks like Steve Sounders is going to reveal "the super secret YSlow project" one more time at The Ajax Experience conference (SF Jul 25th-27th).
This time the talk it's not titled "High Performance Web Pages" but Performance Analysis with YSlow for Firebug. The content seems to be the same as for Web20Expo conference in April 2007, however, I believe they have a newer version of the YSlow tool. In the meantime you can get the previous presentation from stevesouders.com/docs/high-performance-web-sites.ppt
I don't really get why they haven't released this tool yet, and why they are so quiet about it. After all, it's just a performance lint tool and in April at the Web2Expo they said they're going to release it this summer. Perhaps...
My 2 cents: Stick to the rules not to the lint tool and you'll be just fine ;)

Thought you'd like to know that YSlow is out today :)
Great!
I was out of the country for a few days. I'll take it for a spin and write a review if I'll have time.
