That's what I was also thinking about - split up the template.css to different parts: BS related and custom styles. BTW I am currently adding all the custom rules to the end of file.

So I was looking at http://lesscss.org/ and they state on their site, that the less thingy is possible with client site JavaScript - in modern browsers.
I tried it with the bootstrap less files we are currently importing and it works good :)

Are there any less files containing the customized styles ? Are they open source ? ....

Could this be an option we might explore, at least for development ?

I was actually just going to ask why everything isn't being compiled into
one file. Color me confused.

Don't see a reason everything couldn't be compiled into one file, but there is a bit of a deliberate decision to not make all of the j.org template files open in the public. So, we'd just need to sort out that issue.

Ya I thought that - closed source :( ... yet another argument for breeding our own ;)

I must be missing something. What exactly is closed source? The j.orgtemplate?

The template itself isn't closed source (otherwise it wouldn't be in this repo or the API template repo), but the various source files aren't just out in the open.

Ah, and I take it that exposing those LESS files here is not desired,
correct? If that's the case, we could always include the compiled
j.orgtemplate CSS, and include that in the first part of this
applications LESS
or SaSS file. Or, just do what you said 7 posts ago.

As a whole we want to CDN everything we can to make maintenance easier for the project as a whole (as it is right now, there's 3 copies of all the SAME MEDIA on the API site...). But, since we don't have that, there's different ways to handle it. Considering I'm the last person who should be advising on front end anything, I'll leave that to folks like you to implement

I am doing some experiments with BT3 here: https://github.com/joomla/jissues/tree/bt3 maybe any of this is re-usable.
