All, There are plans to update the 'welcome' scaffolding app, and we are considering various front-end frameworks to serve as a base. Here are some options being considered:
- HTML5 Boilerplate (http://html5boilerplate.com) - Twitter Bootstrap (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap) - Skeleton (http://www.getskeleton.com) - Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com) Note, the latter two (Skeleton and Foundation) offer mobile-friendly responsive/adaptive layouts (i.e., use of CSS media queries to automatically alter the layout on smaller devices). (When you view those two sites, try making your browser window smaller, or view on a smartphone, and see how it changes -- won't work in IE<9.) There's also the possibility of combining these in some way (e.g., Bootstrap styles/UI with Skeleton responsive grid). The question is, are we missing any good options that should be considered, particularly mobile-friendly responsive frameworks? Are there other issues we should be thinking about? Note, the goal is to have a single, fairly compact 'welcome' app. In addition to that, we may offer some alternative scaffolds/layouts via a wizard or some kind of repo (perhaps some of those above that aren't selected for the 'welcome' app), so the main 'welcome' app doesn't have to be all things to all people -- just a nice, basic, general purpose starting point (hopefully that's mobile-friendly). Suggestions/comments welcome. Anthony
