What we were doing before was combining all of the JavaScript (including jQuery) into one file then compressing it. I agree that it might make more sense to use the Google libraries for jQuery (though having outside dependencies, however solid, doesn't sit well with me), but we still have our own scripts that need to be compressed. In the meantime I'm just checking the YUI-ified copies into our repository as a temporary measure, but once I get a chance to look into the Ruby compression libraries I'll report back to this thread. Thanks for the tmp/generated tip.
