Hi all,

Just a quick announcement: I’ve no idea whether someone already did  
this but my limited Google searching turned up nothing. I’ve ported  
Dean Edwards’ JavaScript compressor to Ruby and released it as a Rails  
plugin that allows you to batch-process your scripts:

I’d appreciate anyone who feels like giving it a whirl and letting me  
know how it goes.

Best,  
James
