I wonder if this puts it 'ahead' of Zurb Foundation? I have this sneaking suspicion that even if Zurb does a 'good' job, unless it's way better, they're never going to get the publicity these guys do, and thus won't have quite the same feedback loop.

The Zurb guys talked about Foundation vs. Bootstrap on The Changelog podcast: http://thechangelog.com/post/13873612141/episode-0-7-0-found...

Anyone listen to it and have a summary?

Seems to be growing pretty fast: lib/ went from 76KB to 172KB ?

Seems like a very big increase.. Should we be worried?

(edit: Looks great though ;)

It's modular - only use what you need.

I have used Zorb's Foundation for all of my projects, just because of the responsive layout. Should I bother "porting" them to Bootstrap or is there no real advantage? I still am reluctant to move to Bootstrap, but due to its popularity I think it will get more updates and will attract more people willing to improve it ...

I recently used Bootstrap to skin the initial version of my paste bin project, and it produced a very nice result with no effort, especially for someone who is not a front-end guy. http://paste.ly/ Looking forward to digging into Bootstrap 2.

Make sure to randomize the paste codes. Otherwise it's too easy to just increment and see what everyone else has done:

The big one, for me at least, is the move from a 16-column grid to a 12-column grid. I didn't look into the technical differences, just those that would impact development with it. I just converted a ton of stuff (like last week ), so it's pretty fresh in my mind. I feel like I should have checked the wip branch first, but this has really become my favorite kit. I've been about 95% YUI and the remainder OOCSS, and Bo…

I don't really get why they would get rid of the 16-column instead of only adding the 12 and mix them with something like . I have use for both.

Because then you'd end up writing stuff like span6-12 or span1-16. Confused why you'd need 16 also. Any even division you can do in a 16 col grid you can also do in 12.
