The only trouble I see is in user/developer relations when potential users get the impression that the core devs just don't care enough to provide one. (Even when handed everything to accomplish it.) In the readme_first.txt, included in the pack, I mention YUI compressor is compatible with Prototype's use of the $super variable and I provide a customized Dean Edwards Packer 3 (with $super support as well). I also link to articles about mod_deflate and provide a sample .htaccess setup for mod_deflate. - JDD --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
