Update Core Less Team about less-docs

[Synchro]

Lovely, thanks!

[matthew-dean]

Yes, certainly @Synchro has earned his place in the Less Hall of Heroes. And yeah, it's been great to see @seven-phases-max's numerous contributions lately. :-)

Is there a ceremony for these guys? A cake certificate?

[matthew-dean]

I think the only thing that jumps into my head is that we have established guidelines for contributions (I think we have a doc for this now?) on accepting / rejecting pull requests that we can all follow. As long as we're all on the same page, it's great to get so many people pitching in on the management / maintenance side.

[jonschlinkert]

👍 absolutely!!!

[seven-phases-max]

I will be honored.

... on the understanding you still create pull requests if its a large / breaking / contraversial change.

🗿 (I guess I will PR anything because even a little change or "evident" fix may be questionable and subjective).

[SomMeri]

@lukeapage Of course I'm ok with that, thank you.

I'm going to brag about this one day :-)

[Synchro]

Thanks for the props @matthew-dean. I get a hint of impostor syndrome when I see @lukeapage, yours, Jon's, Max's and others enormous efforts!
BTW I am no longer going to be writing a Less book with Alex Libby; It was all going swimmingly, but then Packt had a major failure to understand what a contract is, so I ducked out. I helped write the book plan, which is looking pretty good, and there will be a chapter on contributing to Less.

[lukeapage]

Ha, they approached me and I was tempted but then after seeing the monetary renumeration and how quickley they wanted it written I decided I'd rather contribute to less-docs and have a free online source of information available.

[matthew-dean]

Yep, I also ducked out when they approached me, after I calculated the advance vs. the income of doing other types of work. (Plus, there are a lot of complaints online about them.) I think they basically use the shotgun approach of finding authors.

[cloudhead]

Feel free to also update the site with core team info 👍

[lukeapage]

okay,let me know if you are unhappy with what I've done

http://less.github.io/less-docs/about.html#team

people added.

[lukeapage]

p.s. @cloudhead do you want to be listed as on the core team or just as-is, the original author?

[lukeapage]

people feel free to make a pull request/just update repo to correct anything

[cloudhead]

yea, would be nice to be part of the core team, even if I only occasionally pop in 😄

[matthew-dean]

@cloudhead We're planning to build you a shrine and put your face on our Less-Bitcoin currency. ;-)

[cloudhead]

hahaha

[lukeapage]

@cloudhead can you help us with LESS vs less vs Less.js vs Less ?

[matthew-dean]

I recall a convo in which @cloudhead said LESS or Less was correct. That's my recollection anyway. IMO less would not be correct, grammatically, because it's a named language (like JavaScript or Java), and Less.js is the name of the JavaScript library / parser but not the language. ("Less.js is used to parse Less.") Probably, also, in terms of grammar rules, "Less" is more correct than "LESS" because it's not an acronym (but English doesn't always follow such rules strictly), but we sometimes write "LESS" because of the similarity to CSS. I think Alexis should have the final word, but whatever we decide, we should start sticking to a single convention.

[lukeapage]

I prefer Less and Less.js I think and that's what most of the new docs have

[lukeapage]

p.s. @cloudhead is now on the core team list on the about page

[Synchro]

I'm +1 for Less and Less.js.

[seven-phases-max]

"Less" is more correct than "LESS" because it's not an acronym

Actually it can be treated as acronym: Leaner Style Sheets. :) (Though it seems that this subheading is no longer used in the docs). I used to use LESS because it is written this way at current http://lesscss.org/ almost everywhere, but Less is pretty cool for me too (but not Less.js except when it's used to specify the particular implementation, as in "This LESS feature is supported in Less.js but not supported in Less.c++").

[SomMeri]

I like both less and Less, LESS looks like yelling to me. I agree with @seven-phases-max in that Less.js could be used for javascript implementation. At least, that is how I used it so far.
