+We use minified versions of JQuery / jQueryUI and google-code-prettify in the Notebook.
+
+Some package managers require full versions alongside minified, and they can be
+dropped in here, if necessary.
+
+origins of our minified js:
+prettify:  http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/files/prettify-small-1-Jun-2011.tar.bz2
+jQuery-1.6.2: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.min.js
+jQueryUI-1.8.14: generated by https://jqueryui.com/download
+
+And their unminified counterparts:
+prettify:  http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/files/prettify-1-Jun-2011.tar.bz2
+jQuery-1.6.2: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.js
+jQueryUI-1.8.14: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/tarball/1.8.14
