With a large number of cleanups to the jsdoc I was able to get the shindig javascript compiled using the closure compiler. Overall there's a 5% reduction in gzip'd bytes (see table below)
Normally closure compiler is not used piecemeal like this. instead it's used on the entirety of a script. Doing this for content from the concat servlet shows a 6% reduction in gzip'd bytes: 6671 Jan 12 12:34 rpc.cc.js.gz 7116 Jan 12 12:34 rpc.opt.js.gz 26427 Jan 12 12:32 if.cc.js.gz 28171 Jan 12 12:30 if.opt.js.gz To track the cleanups to the javascript I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1264 There's a bit more remaining cleanup and some remaining outstanding warnings from my build.
