Hi all!
I'd like to your input on this...
1) I thought about cleaning up the directory structure a little bit. I like to
get most files off the top level directory and I also want to restructure the
inc directory
Like the new layout, thumbs up.
I'm not sure where plugins should be put. Maybe they need to moved to lib as inc is protected by a .htaccess file and plugins may want to come with their own style sheet.
I think lib/ is the way to go.
Maybe we should move everything that needs to be writable to data? So we should add an data/auth dir for user.auth.php and acl.auth.php ?
Good idea, much easier to give apache access to write then.
Moving feed.php could make problems for existing subscribers...
2) My second question is about "compression" techniques for CSS and JavaScript
files. Should we use such compressors? They remove whitespaces and do some optimizing but
make the code nearly unreadable but they make the files much smaller (and sometimes even
faster in execution). We could put the readable and the compressed version into the
distribution but use the compressed one in the code.
So what do you think?
Is that really necessary, if we look at the numbers:
Js files:
16K ./script.js
4,0K ./ajax.js
4,0K ./tw-sack.js
24K total
Css files:
4,0K ./tpl/default/rtl.css
12K ./tpl/default/design.css
4,0K ./tpl/default/layout.css
4,0K ./tpl/default/print.css
4,0K ./style.css
4,0K ./feed.css
32K total
Main page of my wiki site:
20K doku.php.html
20K total
All except the html output can be cached by the browser as this is new
for every click, so "normal" wiki users that look at more than one page
will not load the line with more traffic after first page view.
But ff you run a site that have hits from different users in the order
where 56kb is a problem downloading. Then I would recommend doing
compression, but for normal use it does not make sense to do whitespace
compression.
Best Regards
Troels
