sourcemaps

[jonschlinkert]

Per this comment less/less.js#1050 (comment), let's get some stuff written down about this awesome new feature. What do Less.js users need to know!

A good amount of the basics are here: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/css-preprocessors

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bqfoYaKCYUI&t=271 featured a demo of things in action.

@paulirish thank you!

@Soviut, do you want to lead the charge on documenting the source map feature?

[Soviut]

@jonschlinkert I could certainly try! I know how source maps work but I haven't been playing with any of the wip branches so I'll need some guidance.

Thanks for giving it a try! I think this feature just needs a champion for the docs, and I think you would be great at pulling it together.

IMO, this just means you'll be more sensitive to what designers and folks who are unfamiliar with source maps will want to know.

I'm improving the docs on the Chrome DevTools side of things, is there anything on the less side i can link to?

[jonschlinkert]

I'll get to it tonight!, I'll let you know when there is something up

@paulirish (and anyone interested), I've been working on getting the docs straightened out since yesterday... I'll need some help with the source map docs, but we will have a new docs system running this week! I'm going to make sure this happens.

we now have at least a new build system for the docs, conventions, and a pretty good start on organizing the docs, I'm thinking the new site will actually be up and running (hopefully) within the week.
