Initiative

ARCHITECT CSS

Further to Dries blog on Reducing risk in the Drupal 8 release schedule at http://buytaert.net/reducing-risk-in-the-drupal-8-release-schedule there is a need to consolidate and make sure that the CSS architecture fixes do not become a blocker. To ensure the same John has moved the fixes & issues around CSS Architecture to the JohnAlbin’s Mobile initiative sandbox. This will also ensure that all the commits are consolidated and pushed as meaningful chunks. Also the renaming of CSS files done during the Singapore sprint get recognition! So Join John @ the sandbox to make the much awaited CSS clean possible and become a part of Drupal 8 release!
