Thank you for your effort!

I am sure you remember our discussions with regard to coffescript and 
uglifier, and their rubygems variants. Would you mind to show us some 
examples, how you wold apply these guidelines on these packages? How 
would Ruby on Rails colaborate with js-jquery, etc.

Thanks
