I think one path that OpenLayers could take in 3.0 is to implement lazy, on-demand loading of the library components like YUI. Also like YUI, it could be hosted on Google's CDN and have several "pre-built" modules so that neither the entire library is downloaded nor each specific file unless need be. Just a possible idea for the future. Matt Priour _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
