Bug Description

This idea came out of the discussion of bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/723417

We should create a reusable YUI widget that enabled text areas to auto expand as they're input into. In this way, we can have sane default sizes, but the lack of scrolling as content increases should be a usability win. It should also help reduce the pain points of default sizes not always being optimal for all users of all projects.

See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/expanding-text-areas-made-elegant/ for a nice discussion of tricks and gotcha for implementation.
