Well... you realize it's the basis of my work on Wess three years ago right? ;)

No I don't. :P This doesn't nearly answer my question anyway. :)

Well, take Sass and Less, remove some useless features, add more innovation, and voilà, you've got Wess.
And it's an exclusive component of Wedge.

Well, that's not helpful for daily use. :D

I never said Wess wouldn't be released separately from Wedge.
But I'll only do it if there's some semblance of interest, of course. Not going to waste my time otherwise...
Do note that the library itself is already mostly separate from the forum code, so... It's doable.

"Mostly", oh well ...
All I need is the compiler. (And a reason why I should prefer Wess to Compass. :P Which leads me back to my original question...)

What do you need to ask, then? The compiler is available in the places you posted...
And if you're looking for a PHP preprocessor, just try lessphp (a port of lessc, which itself is based on Less.)

I need to ask because it's not related to my original question ... :D
(No, I prefer having my CSS files built before using them, but thanks.)

Less compiles at page load time. Sass and Wess compile once and then load a static CSS file.

... unless you drive a server-side dynamic compiling unit. (Especially WordPress is known to use something like that for every occasion imaginable.)
Static CSS is best indeed! But not generated on the server. :D

I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make.
Oh, I was looking at Elk, and noticed you were doing their German version. Do you want to double-check Pandos's translation for Wedge? I'm interested in finding typos, things like that. I don't speak a word of German. Nein.
I also noticed you got into a fight with someone else with the translation... I'm afraid I have to say, I don't see in what way his post was offending. It seemed like an innocent question, to me. You're a bit irritable, aren't you? ;)

They do have the 'super-cache' plugin, though. It makes PHP pages static. That's cool. For a website you provide no interactivity for, of course.............

It takes less than half a second (or even a quarter second..?) for the server to re-generate the main CSS file, which is quite large, and after that, it doesn't need to be re-generated until the original CSS is modified.

That's what a CSS preprocessor is, really...

Nein.
It could have been worse!

Also it annoys me quite a bit to spend a lot of effort into translating stuff just to hear then "sorry but we have no idea how to integrate it" and then, by a completely new third-party member, "oh well I could already have done" blah blah...
I'm with Theo de Raadt here: Less talking, more fucking work!
I don't think they have any of that...

Well, I mainly intend to use it to generate CSS locally and upload it then. No additional server load, still optimized coding.
