Hi Akshay,

First, let me say that I normally minimize CSS and Javascript using:

uglifyjs
uglifycss

and both seem to work fine.

Also, it's not really necessary, or even a good idea, to combine all JS files into one big JS minimize file for a number of reasons.

It is not good to "over optimize" and little really great comes of it, in my view.

Most sites like this are changing often and there is always a lot of Javascript code to write, modify, change and debug. Creating "mothers of all minimized Javascript files" make things "a nightmare" and it is better to smartly combine them, and that cannot be done by tool because we need to know that we are developing, where the issues are, what is changing, and what is static.

But anyway, I'm not focused on it and it is not on the site development critical path to worry about minimizing more JS and CSS. I have a lot more important functional code to write for the next month or so.

Cheers and Thanks!

CSS frameworks

I have been reading up on CSS frameworks, to see if it could be useful for an intranet that I am helping to build, but the true purpose does not become clear to me. What circumstances would the deployment of a CSS framework be useful in? What does a CSS framework do that a CMS template cannot do?

NAME

       xhtml2pdf - PDF generator using HTML and CSS

SYNOPSIS

       xhtml2pdf [-b base path] [--base=base path] [-c CSS file] [--css=CSS file] [--css-dump] [-d] [--debug] [--encoding=character encoding] [-h]
		 [--help] [-q] [--quiet] [--version] [-w] [--warn] [-x] [--xml] [--xhtml] [--html] [SRC] [DEST]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xhtml2pdf command.

       xhtml2pdf is an HTML-to-PDF converter using the ReportLab Toolkit, HTML5lib and pyPdf.

       It supports HTML 5 and CSS 2.1 (and some of CSS 3). It is completely written in pure Python so it is platform independent. The main benefit
       of this tool that a user with Web skills like HTML and CSS is able to generate PDF templates very quickly without learning new
       technologies. Easy integration into Python frameworks like CherryPy, KID Templating, TurboGears, Django, Zope, Plone, Google AppEngine
       (GAE) etc.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       SRC
	   Name of a HTML file or a file pattern using * placeholder. If you want to read from stdin use - as file name. You may also load an URL
	   over HTTP. Take care of putting the src in quotes if it contains characters like ?.

       DEST
	   Name of the generated PDF file or - if you like to send the result to stdout. Take care that the destination file is not already opened
	   by an other application like the Adobe Reader. If the destination is not writeable a similar name will be calculated automatically.
