This looks really handy. It's disappointing that there's only partial support for IE7.

Sounds similar to Skeleton (http://getskeleton.com/) but a little more in-depth (I noticed more attention to forms in Foundation, which is nice).

That's exactly what I thought. Anyone with more knowledge care to compare / contrast this and Skeleton?

Couple differences: Skeleton was designed as more of a boilerplate than a full framework, and Skeleton focuses on being responsive through breakpoints (specific sizes at which the layout shifts) rather than a percentage-based grid system.

Well, PHP was certainly a frustrating choice.

Foundation website is buggy when I try to resize my browser. Also, the reference http://dynamo.dictionary.com/ is very buggy :/

Some of us still use (and like) PHP, thank you very much. Nothing wrong with targeting a niche.

Agreed, but we really wanted people to be able to unzip somewhere on their document root and go.

PHP is already installed just about everywhere, and assuming that you already have Apache running it will just work. All that said, we are only using PHP for includes, and it's trivial to switch these out with what ever language you end up using for implantation. In our case it's just replacing include with Rails render partial.
