The new BrowserPlus framework – a way of extending your browser capabilities – will become open source next year, which seems a sensible way to increase its adoption:
The big idea here is that we’ll have the whole platform open sourced by mid-next year, and as soon as possible we’ll have many of the services we’ve written open sourced, as well as the APIs needed to write new services. Our goal is to empower the community to contribute actual patches and new services – code to compliment the feedback.

Update 26th October 2011: Are you receiving a “502” error from iCal? Please see my more recent post iCal 502 error when syncing with Yahoo! Calendar for more details.
The new beta of Yahoo! Calendar now supports the CalDAV protocol, meaning that sharing and synchronizing with desktop calendaring applications is possible.
iCal has supported CalDAV since version 3.0 shipped with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, so it is possible to get it working with Yahoo! Calendar. After completing the following steps, any events that you create in the web-based Calendar will be replicated to iCal, and vice-versa.
What you will need:
Step 1:
https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com
Your Yahoo! Calendar should now be synchronized with iCal, refreshing every 15 minutes: you should see it listed on the left hand side of your iCal window underneath the calendars stored on your Mac.
