A note that if you use the project django-compressor you can put something
like the following into your templates and it will automatically compile
the less
{% compress css %}
<link type="text/less" rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL
}}css/style.less" charset="utf-8">
{% endcompress %}
No need to compile by hand.
A note about bootstrap. I'm using it for my project and I've run across
some pretty glaring bugs in the javascript it ships with. They don't keep
the master branch stable, and are in the middle of merging the 2.0 work in
progress branch into master. So there is a little bit of instability. Not
the end of the world though, I still recommend it.
As far as core. Bootstrap should be a 3rd party app, but possibly having
less support in core might be helpful.
