Hi Flibbles This is amazing! I am one of those who request for a minified TW5 and you did it!
The empty.html for TW5.1.24 is 2371 kB and the Uglified TW 5.1.24 is 1297 kB EXCELLENT!! around 50% smaller! We have a big pain distributing a TW with required plugins (empty.html ~ 4500 kB) Love it, I will test it with much of interest. One question: The doc says it compresses the JS code, how about plugins developed in pure wikitext? Commander is around 112kB, but I think it should be 25-40kB. What do you think?
