We should have a copy of jquery in mediaWiki ~soon~ ... although its a good point that it would be nice to centrally locate all our static mediWiki files for improved cache-ability across sites. If we could tie the version number to the request then we can just set it to never expire.

Hi, folks.
Recently, the problem of user tracking via third party companies has been debated on mailing lists. I wonder, if an inclusion of the jQuery library linked directly from Google servers (!) does not qualify as a bad idea, too… (Even though no user tracking has obviously been intended, and due to caching, privacy violation is extremely limited.) See http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js (added on 2009-05-22 http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=10119416&diffonly=1).
