CDN vs Local Hosting of Static JS/CSS Libraries

[manistal]

Need to decide whether to use a CDN (Content Delivery Network/remote hosting) for JS and CSS Libraries like, JQuery, Bootstrap, Bokeh.

Pros:

• Decreased latency, remote sites download to the client in parallel
• Not stuffing other people's code into our repo

Cons:

• Can't work in offline mode (this seems big)

Should probably do neither and use a package manager in the install script so they're not stored locally and can be used in offline mode after the install. #PacakgeManagers

In the meantime, I'm gonna stuff a bunch of libs locally, this issue can serve as a TODO to get rid of them while we figure out how to do JS/CSS installs.
