I think some XWiki instances are used inside of "strict" corporations. The employees don't have Internet access. So, having XWiki depend on this library will lose those users. On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 1:10 PM, Asiri Rathnayake <asiri.rathnayake(a)gmail.com

Maybe. Its main advantages are that: - it increases the chance of having the prototype and scriptaculous scripts in the cache. - it downloads them from Google's fast CDN, reducing the load on our servers I don't know how does it work with the rest of our scripts, which assume that Prototype is already loaded. It probably doesn't which means that we'll need lots of changes in all our js code to integrate it. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

In i2geo we decided to drop this dependency on google-APIs-server for prototype and friends. We decided this based on my observation that connections are often opened to such servers, even just for checking that it is not modified even though it is in cache. It's an easy adjustment. paul Le 01-déc.-09 à 12:18, Sergiu Dumitriu a écrit :
