CSS linting – new approach (JF)

  • JF would like to replace CSSlint with more modern, flexible, customizable approach also regarding style hinting
    • Stylelint is based on PostCSS https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130721 so PostCSS is a blocker
      • VE: We've been talking about possible usage of PostCSS in group's last meeting. Might be on the horizon.
      • JR: Minerva is currently not using PostCSS, but would generally be interested
      • VE interested in exploring the options here.
