Owen: Ahh, I didn't realize that Bootstrap had a customizer. I figured it had to be something along those lines. It's a shame they don't indicate in the comments that it was a custom version built by them at least :S.
Newer versions do, for what it's worth.
Owen: Regarding the speed, did you find there was a noticeable difference in the speed of the custom CSS vs the full CSS?
I didn't test speed differences, I just worked on the assumption that smaller is better. I think shaving off every byte we can is going to add up to speed improvements.
I think if we're going to get speed improvements at this point, they're going to come from Plack/mod_perl.
As a mostly-front-end guy who can't contribute to server-side speed improvements I consider it my job to make whatever performance improvements I can where I can. There's definitely more we can do, and I will continue to argue that we need to make the speed of the interface a higher priority than the ease of the developers' workflow. That said, I'm anxious to move forward on a Bootstrap upgrade, not least because it should be clearer to everyone what's in Bootstrap and what isn't. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
