Hmm, my comment could have been more clear.  The issue is simply that the comment is misleading: according to the configuration directive, there is no "assets" directory in our setup.  In other words, javascript files will still be in Rails.root/themes/activate/javascripts/ in our case with the activate theme (and not Rails.root/themes/activate/assets/javascripts).  I'm just noting this so other developers and the Calagator maintainers put files in the right place.  Thanks!
