[Commotion-dev] How to file issue on Commotion-OpenWRT luci theme - really really big font files

[Dan Staples]

I believe I just fixed the issue submission, so try again and see if 
that works. I think it makes a lot of sense to trim down the luci 
theme. Our OpenWRT images have gone up 2MB since the last release, so 
stripping out unnecessary items is a great idea. I was also surprised 
it had a minified jQuery, which is still quite large. And why would we 
need both jQuery and Zepto? I don't think we have any javascript in the 
theme or elsewhere that requires jQuery. Zepto should do just fine...
