Why would you adapt Wordpress, something that isn't a bootstrap project, but rather a mature product? The bootstrap framework is meant as (and delivers as) a starter place from which to begin customization. Bootstrap has done wonders for the web, but putting a theme on wp for it just doesn't (to me) make any sense.

Bootstrap is a framework for design, Wordpress is a CMS. Completely different products.

This isn't adapting WordPress really - it provides a starting point for theme development, which is something different from adapting WordPress.

Looks great, Ben! I agree with thebiglebrewski that a link to a demo site would be super helpful.

FYI, I built a similar (paid) product for Shopify Themes (http://bootstrapforshopify.com) and I have gotten quite a few queries from folks asking about a similar thing for Wordpress - there are people willing to pay for something like this, for sure, if you're interested in offering a supported version or something of that ilk.

In any case, now I have somewhere to direct folks that ask about a WP Bootstrap framework :).

This isn't a theme, it's a customized boilerplate for themes. On it's own, this is fairly worthless, but it's a good starting point for modern theme development. I pretty much did this myself for the last theme I put together.
