You should be fine defining your functions outside of document.ready.
If your really want, you could do something like:
var myFunction;
$(document).ready(function() {
myFunction = function(param1, param2) {
};
...
});
Or:
$(document).ready(function() {
window.myFunction = function(...) {
};
...
});
Either of those would make the function available outside of $document.ready.
