Fix asset pipeline/style compilation

[pselle]

Fix the style compilation issue so styles can be written in SASS/leverage the asset pipeline.

Cass mentioned that she might have a fix for this, so I'll assign it to her for now. Feel free to unassign it, Cass!

@pselle @atroutt well, in trying to upgrade this older Rails app to use the asset pipeline, this seems like a deep rabbit hole. there are compass dependencies that I simply cannot resolve and I think we may want to rethink this. In reviewing and following upgrading Rails app to use the asset pipeline, this is just not a straightforward way for any one build. Perhaps we should think about not going the assets pipeline way and compiling our scss alternatively. mixins, variables, etc are simply just not being recognized. In trying to fix errors such as these
"(Undefined mixin 'border-radius'.
(in /Users/longpathredacted....../assets/stylesheets/_border_radius.scss)"
it simply goes on and on from one to the other...commenting out the code in question as it kicked up error afer error took me down a commenting-out-scss-code path for hours. Any feedback appreciated, or a diff. way of looking at what we want to accomplish... appreciated as well

Id like to add Brian McElaney to contributors, I've asked him to look at both branches and give some feedback on how to proceed: convert to use asset pipeline or some other way. @atroutt are you okay with this?

[pselle]

It's a FOSS project, so Brian should be able to fork/pull-request like any
other member of Github.

worked with BMac for a while today, will post my notes this weekend and status:progress

[atroutt]

Thanks @cassking !

@atroutt after spending many hours trying to fix the compass. precompilation bug in this app, we have concluded it's compass that is completely broken. BMac spent aobut 4 hours alone, and condluded that compass in fact is the culprit. we have a few options beyond simply keeping this code as is, we can try creairing a brand new rails app and I can work on moving all the css over into asset pipeline, or, try and get a rails+compass app up and running from scratch, and migrate over the m-v-c...we should probably discuss this more in depth and i am confident BMac will be more than willing to pitch in as far as how to go from here...sorry I dont have better news at this time
