Can I suggest we use LESS, or make it easy to do both?

http://lesscss.org/

richjoslin commented 12 years ago

I like the looks of LESS better than SASS. I think the answer is to use LESS in the default theme and it is still wide open for people to use whatever they want - in conjunction or as a replacement. However, modifying the CSS I just finished revamping is lower on my priority list.

A related question is: Would it make sense to base the default theme on something like one of the following?

http://html5boilerplate.com/ <-- really good HTML 5 starting point

http://www.initializr.com/ <-- more complete, includes above

I wanted to note this here per our conversation. I think eventually we will want the truly default theme to be barebones HTML with no CSS or JavaScript at all. Then we will include one add-on theme with the latest stable tarball that is considered the core sanctioned default theme, but it's still technically an add-on theme which can be immediately deleted at any time after unpacking or installing.

Have you looked at Bootstrap? The markup is so simple it might be worth using for both barebones html and a default theme (with all the JS and CSS)

I remember using a young Bootstrap a few years ago and then ditching it because you liked 960 Grid better. :-) Bootstrap, Themeroller, Initializr, etc. (even 960GS) can all be on the list of possible themes to choose from. I still think none of them should be the core default, because odds are high that the default theme will be replaced anyway. The laws of irony dictate that if we choose one platform for the default theme, it will end up being the least-used. Luckily we don't have to choose just one.

I agree. The only reason I suggest bootstrap is that the markup has almost no bootstrap-specific code in it. It's really vanilla markup.

Also: Never listen to me when I talk about front end. I know nothing useful. Seriously. :)
