What should be in Fluid-all.js?

[Anastasia Cheetham]

First, a general point:

Files end up in Fluid-all.js because they are explicitly listed in  
build.properties. It is a not-uncommon mistake for a developer who  
creates a new file to forget to update build.properties. That said:

> There are a couple of javascript files that we ship in our bundle

Oops, maybe?

Possibly oops...

If the samples themselves are not included in Fluid-all.js, then the  
JS files they use should not be included, I would think.

That's my understanding, too.

This is a good question. I'm trying to remember the discussions we had  
at the time we put together the rich-text inline edit. If I recall,  
the *idea* was that we were delivering an Inline Edit that could have  
a rich-text editor plugged in, but not delivering the rich-text  
editors. That's why the file is called InlineEditIntegrations instead  
of RichTextInlineEdit. But we do need to figure out the correct path  
forward.

Still not sure about this...
