:-) awesome!

What do you think about some or all of the following:

- moving development of all three of these to zope.org svn?
- putting them in a namespace?
- merging zc.resourcelibrary and headincludes?
- the possibility that we might want to include things not only in  
the head later (some old JS code wanted to be at the end, for  
instance) and so "resourcelibrary", or at least something less  
specific than "headincludes", might be a better name?

More concretely, I suggest three new projects in zope.org:
z3c.resourcelibrary (deprecating zc.resourcelibrary)
z3c.gzipper
z3c.jsmin

You could also choose "zc"--that could stand for "zope community" as  
much as "zope corporation"--but it might cause confusion.  "z" has  
also been proposed. :-)  The "zope" namespace means "from the Zope  
project", not specifically for zope (see zope.interface, for  
instance) so there's ample precedent for general things going in a  
"z*" namespace...

What do you think?  Getting the code in a publicly-accessible repo,  
ideally svn.zope.org, is my primary desire--everything else is  
peripheral.

(I don't have as much use personally for your JSON-server right now,  
btw, but maybe that would be good to put in the repo too?)
