@David: I would be somewhat interested in how to make my own build. I know you’ve done it before, but this may be something I’ll have to try. Any links/tutorials you could point me to? Otherwise there’s always google I suppose.

@Jason: I may be wrong, but I’m under the impression that AOL merely hosts the files on their CDN just because they support dojo and use it for some of their apps. Not sure if you actually meant that Dojo pays AOL to keep their files on there, but AOL is supposedly pretty into Dojo as well.

Nice find!

So basically dojo rents out the AOL CDN for all of its users to access the library files?

Did you find any other lists of things people put on CDNs for others to take advantage of?

You would probably also get better performance with a build. The Grid specifically includes lots of different JS files and with a build it would only download 2 files (dojo.js and YourBuild.js).
