25 The Dojo distribution itself may be found in the
26 <filename>externals/dojo/</filename> directory of the Zend Framework
27 distribution. This is a source distribution, which includes Dojo's full
28 javascript source, unit tests, and build tools. You can symlink this
29 into your javascript directory, copy it, or use the build tool to create
30 your own custom build to include in your project. Alternatively, you can
31 use one of the Content Delivery Networks that offer Dojo (Zend Framework supports
32 both the official AOL CDN as well as the Google CDN).
