Hi,
is this the right place to ask stuff about fanstatic?
Fanstatic lives at fanstatic.org , the mailing list at fanstatic@googlegroups.com . Let's continue this discussion there.
Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to have a proper look at fanstatic (yet!), but I've just been reading about SASS and CoffeeScript, which are preprocessors/compilers for CSS and JavaScript. So I wondered whether it is within fanstatic's scope that one could feasibly write a plugin to support something like this. Something like, I drop a foo.coffee file somewhere and it would be run through the CoffeeScript compiler, probably cached, and served to clients as foo.js.
(This thought has been triggered by what Rails is doing right now[1] which is powered by their equivalent resource manager[2].)

Supporting pre-processed resources is definitely on the fanstatic roadmap. I am working on pluggable support for javascript resources (CoffeeScript, Google Closure Compiler, ...) and CSS (SASS, LessCSS, ...). Cheers, -- Jan-Jaap Driessen
