As another commenter pointed out, you can recompile the .less files, excluding what you don't need. You can also use the web customizer in our hosted docs at getbootstrap.com.

Fellow GitHubber here :). No, we don't use Jekyll for our blog. It's part of the GitHub.com codebase I believe. For chat, all standard stuff really :). We use Campfire for group ch…

Sorry, my typo made this more confusing. We never supported IE6. IE7 was supported through 2.3.2. With v3, we dropped IE7 and now support IE8+.

Yeah, sorry about those changes in the RCs. Really we used the wrong label and are sorry about that. All in all though, everything with those pre-releases worked out really well. J…

v2.x supported IE7, so yeah. Since we dropped that we were able to make use of it. Edit for typo

Yup, and we'll be working with these folks make this more official shortly. Stay tuned!

We do.

Naming changes were for consistency across the framework. We only use `!important` on utilities where specificity would make them impractical. Quick floats, toggling by viewport si…

True, we could be louder about that. I'll get a tweet out about it shortly. To be honest I totally forgot about even mentioning it anywhere but in a few @ replies and issues on Git…

v3 will ship with a v2-ish theme that you can optionally enable.

Yeah we probably should have called them betas, but I'm fine with using RC—beta sounds way less serious and we want folks to just go to town on this. It's helped a lot . And glad t…

Super interesting—I did not realize that :). If you guys ever want to pass along feedback on how that went and what you did, please do! <3

We've always used purple, save for the months of red in the v3 dev work that we then changed just a couple days ago. The purple was pulled directly from http://static.djbooth.net/p…

Actually it is—it might behave perfectly right now, but the intent is that it is mobile-first and responsive like nearly every other component. If you're running into problems, let…

Awesome to hear, yo! <3

Indeed there will be at least one more RC.

Thanks! And no, probably not—the two are most definitely not directly related.

Meh, I'm usually not one for variety :). The purple space background was designed by an illustrator here at GitHub and I just put it to use. That the page ended up being purple and…

I wrote all the styles for Bootstrap and refactored GitHub's forms and buttons a few months ago for a similar approach. Not 100% the same, but definitely close. All those styles ar…

All mobile first means is that instead of scaling CSS down for smaller devices, we start from there and work our way up instead. So far it's smarter defaults, little bit less code,…

Preference, readability, consistency with classes, better spell checking, etc. I always felt we should have done dashes instead, but shipping camelCase meant sticking with it for b…

It's on our list to check it out because of some of lack of control CSS transitions afford us. Hacks with overflow hidden cause issues, mobile performance is rather spotty, and mor…

I don't ever recall saying that, but if I did, I'm happy to have been wrong. Super stoked about the direction we're going.

Pretty much. Plus, it's a much better (and more socially known) metaphor for describing its function and presentation.

Negatory, but given the prominence of the ports and use of Sass, we'll likely try to do something here to help folks out who are using that over Less. No reason we couldn't write a…
