Are there plans on driving Mothership on SASS officially?

I can safely assume I am not the only SASS fan around here and there are many nice things about SASS, responsive, good practice, structure etc.

On the same boat, can you (Morten) make some [META] issue called Roadmap where you will present your ideas for next Mothership and receive some feedback from community?

I'd particularly like to read some follow up on your text in Drupal Watchdog about using Fences, Semantic Views and Magic in conjunction of what is Mothership doing, how that overlaps and how those complements?

You might be interested by Parrot, a subtheme which includes SASS, COMPASS integration, as well as Susy, Zen, or Singularity grids systems, and much more.

Martin_L,

Thank you for the hint, but I was referring to Morten, partly as suggestion (it should be SASSy), partly as a question (why isn't it?)

I think that SASS greatly benefits any project as it allows for greater flexibility and then much more in terms of responsiveness and future DRY to name just some benefits (and not just because everyone does so)

I vote for Mothership remaining minimal and something like Parrot getting all the fancy tools. One of the reasons is the difficulty of making small adjustments when you create a common theme for a franchise operation and each franchise has their own site with a few trivial changes. If you drag all the development tools into every one of the 2000 sites, there is a real problem managing the result and applying a common change.

With Parrot in one site and plain mothership in the other 1999, you can export just the CSS. If there is a need to let the local sites set something like a banner colour change, you can put that as a setting in a subtheme without letting the site admin trample over the 350 other things you set in your fancy dev tool.

The next reason is the range of fancy tools. You could implement them over Parrot, pigeon, plover, partridge, ....
