This looks really cool and looks like it would REALLY simplify the
uPortal CSS code.
Especially with the variable replacement bits would it be valuable to
move adopters to use the SASS files as well? I know I'd love it if I
could change all the occurrences of the blue tab background by just
Just realized that trunk still depends on a few snapshot dependencies. I
can't cut a release with the snapshot dependencies and with the current
time frame I'm just going to skip the M2 release. We will still be
having an RC1 release next week.

Sounds perfect. There should be a maven plugin
Dojo started using the LESS CSS framework with their 1.6 release. I
haven't had a chance to play with it, but it might be a good idea to
compare LESS/SASS.

Hey all,
I heard about SASS (http://sass-lang.com/) not long ago, and
Unfortunately there is not and doubly it is a Ruby app. There is a Maven
JRuby plugin that allows you to call a Ruby script from Maven so in
theory that should work but before I spend a bunch of time hacking on

we do
I would love to see Sass in uPortal if at all possible. It will make things a
lot easier for both developers and non-developers as it allows for abstraction
right in the CSS (complex sets of CSS rules can get abstracted into simple
one-line mixins). This kind of abstraction also allows for more
If you're interested in seeing an example of what SASS in uPortal would look
like, Gary's been testing it with the uMobile theme. The default skin for the
muniversality theme should give a general idea of what some of the code looks
like.

Variables, Nesting, Mixins, and Selector Inheritance all seem okay. It
doesn't include logical components like decisions and loops, so I
think any concerns I had at first seem unfounded.

I talked with a couple of our graphic artists about SASS. They were
intrigued by the new ideas SASS brings to the table, and there were
some observations that may, or may not, apply to the portal. They
usually work
The input is REALLY valuable. It always makes me happy when people are
keeping up with uPortal development and giving their input into the
decisions about where to go with the framework.
