[ckan-dev] minification and licenses

That sounds like a fair compromise, I'd be a little worried that it would get lost during deployment, or rather than people would forget to do it.  

Maybe we should have a 'paster deploy' that runs a set of paster commands in a single step for a deployment?  Presumably running min on a minified file would be harmless.

Other than that though I think it's a good idea.
