It is intended to be used in rapid application scenarios such as a Startup Weekend or a prototyping session with a customer. This plugin provides adapted scaffolding templates for standard CRUD pages using Twitter's CSS Framework Bootstrap and offers some basic pages for a web site.

I think excellent work has gone into this plugin but just extending the though, how good it will be to provide an option for the logged in user to change the theme to suit their preferences and color tone?

Looking forward to this, whenever it is incorporated.

Good idea, I have a similar technique used in another project where the user can switch between different version (via Less) of Bootstrap. I try to include this into the next version. I'm not sure if the user should switch the "skin" but I think the admin should have the option.

Well, its user experience, as a user i want to see skimmed or differently organized web page. Also, that adds to the aesthetic appeal. But, again getting it in the scope of this plugin is debatable.

How good is the api to support mobile browsers? RWD?

Regarding User-changeable Skins: You might want to look at the Skinnable plugin - http://grails.org/plugin/skinnable

Regarding REST: That is on my list but you can use the JSON-based REST plugin: http://grails.org/plugin/json-rest-api that can expose all or only parts of your domain models.

I don't know what you mean with RWD. Real World Data? Read / Writeable Data?

I was talking about the responsive web designing aspect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_Web_Design
