There was a good deal of correspondence between Alfred and me leading
up to putting jsxgraph in cdnjs. I had suggested that we could explore
a URL directly from cdnjs for "latest" a la MathJax, do a redirect
from the existing jsxgraph.org domain, or do a bit.ly shortcut (I did
up the last one as an illustration of how that could be done. Alfred
was concerned that anything along those lines would lose in redirect
time what the load from the CDN would save. I felt that anyone who
did not want to lose the extra time in exchange for maintaining
currency could always use the direct, long coded URL for the current
version. Of course, one issue with a URL which automatically uses the
current code is that things could go bump.... Whatever way you look at
it, Alfred made a decision - if someone over there wantt o revisit
that, we can certainly run up arguments pro and con again (I guess I
just did, lol) and adding a "latest" URL is trivial save that I don;t
know if CDNJS actually offers that option and if so, what it would
take, but that is easily discoverable if you want to go there.
I suppose what one would want to do first off is to determine the
extent of CDNJS usage and if possible query those not using CDNJS to
see if non-users don;t use CDN for a specific reason and what CDN
users might feel about such things. Moodle-wise, while I have been
discouraged by Moodle 2.x, I think "SEE", incorporating all Mauno's
coding for Math tools, will soon be the default configuration for
anyone doing math via Moodle, and settings that automate updates are
going to be debated by SAs one way and the other. BUT CDN usage of
MathJax and jsxgraph will continue climbing.
