New team member on dotless: Luke Page

You may have noticed that my blog is filling itself slowly with stuff about Ruby and Unix in general. This has to do with the fact that for now 3 months I am working on Rails full time with very little to no .NET work in between.

While this is awesome for me and I am really enjoying it – it also means that I don’t have a .NET dev environment available at work and quickly merging in a pull request and testing it has become quite a hassle. So dotless has had quite some open tickets that where already fixed but where not yet merged into the mainline due to me lagging behind on responding to pull requests.

Fortunately, most/all pull requests have come from our very active Luke Page who has been busily fixing bugs and contributing features – so adding him to the dotless core team is a logical choice to cut down on the lag I or James where inducing into the process.

Since James felt the same we are happy to announce that Luke Page is now part of the dotless team with commit access and everything. So, welcome onboard Luke! Thanks for being part of dotless :)

    Hi Daniel,
      Thanks for the awesome DotLess library :) . I have one request (if thats possible). Can you add/change the import feature so that instead of ONLY being able to @import a physical file, if it could read from an HTTP link as in a URL. So what i mean is :

    Instead of  -     @import   c:somedircssvariables.less

    if we could do   @import “http://somedomain.com/css/cssvariables.less”

    It would be awesome. Then the css variables can become configurable from a web UI , stored in the database and retrieved via some server side code (the URL here). Also i noticed that if my cssvariables.less file exists in the same folder as my css files, and if i only specify the .less file name (relative path) it looks for c:windowssystem32cssvariables.less which obviously does not exist.

    Hi,

    You can pass variables into dotless right now by simply appending them as querystring parameters to your .. 
    So you can inject the variables when generating the site instead of having to genererate out the site and then dotless has to fetch remote URLs etc..
