Description:

At the moment the main page relies solely on Google's CDN to provide jQuery. When that CDN is down (I've seen that once or twice) the page should fall back to a local copy. E.g., in the HTML5 Boilerplate there is:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/vendor/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"><\/script>')</script>
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  This is just a hack around something that doesn't happen very often; our site is more likely to be down than the CDN is. If anything, we'd just serve it from our server or Cloudfront all the time.

Whoops, this should have category 'web sites', sorry.
