Re: A little advice to the developers
> Oh, and another trick, you should have development files and live files! For example, just the css file for tikimedia theme takes up 38K, but when you strip out all the comments you get 28K! It is a piece of cake to have a script strip out the comments. It's just common sense. In programming it's the little things that add up.
Well, I don't know about that being a "trick" particularly. I was aware of the extra 10K in the tikipedia.css (which is downloaded once and cached), but thought the potential usefulness of the comments to the user made the "bloat" worthwhile since themes development was/is being promoted.
In general about your comments, I wonder how your suggestions would mesh with, replace, or conflict with Tiki's current Smarty template engine, using gzipped output, and other boosting methods like Zend accelerator and Turk mmcache.
