Hi Mengu, I've never heard of this, but like the fact that it's based
on YUI but still seems simple and flexible to use.  It's appealing to
start off with their solid foundation which you can safely build upon.

I think using a CSS framework is getting to be inevitable these days.
Most designers will have pieced together their own, but IMO that's not
a good idea for programmers -- it's so easy to lose a couple of hours
fiddling with CSS,  especially regular gotchas like a div slipping
down the page in IE but which behaves perfectly well in FF -- we just
don't need it!  I can see why Massimo must have given it some thought
and then gone back to a good old table!

In my mind,  the main question is:  is there any kind of standard
which gives immediate access to lots of templates.  If not,  then the
second question is:  what is light, simple,  and well supported enough
to include?

I think Blueprint or the full YUI is probably overkill.  However,  I
would just mention code.google.com/p/the-golden-grid/ with which I was
also very impressed for basic page layout.  The author has a great
philosophy and it's so light and simple (is 1K small enough?!) that it
could easily be included with Web2py for the basic page divs.  And,
if anyone doesn't like it,  it's just as easy to tear up and
replace :-)
