Compile Less on the server?

A friend and I work on WordPress projects together. I work locally and preprocess my css with LESS. He doesn't. He wants to start using LESS, but doesn't work locally (and can't for a few reasons). At the moment, my choice is to write all the LESS, or to give up using LESS on these projects and write vanilla css — both options are less than ideal.

Is there a way for both of us to use LESS if he doesn't work locally? Is there was a way to detect a change in the .less file on the server and recompile? Can Grunt help with this?

Thanks!

Terry

ps: I use git and stuff too, and of course we don't work on live production sites. This is just for early collaboration and prototyping.

Sure thing. There are some great grunt plugins for this.

also this post details a sample configuration you might find interesting.
