Hi, I've been messing about with the boilerplate and implemented a couple of things which were to help me understand how it works. Hopefully they will help others too.

now with added bootstrap 3.1.1. everything looks like its working correctly which is slightly worrying.

Rather than replace bootstrap 2.x with 3.x I'd be more interested in the ability to choose between the frameworks so that those who want to support IE7 to some degree can (with Bootstrap 3.x the default).

Having looked at the Bootstrap implementation what are you thoughts? Doable? Non-starter?

I'm no expert and I'm very much learning as I go with this, but the 2 versions seem quite different. I think the html and css stuff would just get in a mess. The only way I can think you would manage it is to either have separate css/html files (which will just cause you headaches to keep them in sync) or if you could really get your head around it all you could somehow create your own level if indirection in the css file so you never use bootstrap directly but then that's going to have its own maintenance headaches. Moving forwards if there were people who wanted to use 2.x and/or 3.x my gut feeling suggests it should be a branch of the boilerplate but I am assuming people would want one or the other and not both in the same application.

Fair enough! Thanks for the detailed answer
