De-fuglify with Bootstrap

[dustinboston]

Update HTML/CSS to use Bootstrap. @addyosmani Shall we integrate LESS and use the build step to generate the .css files? Or do you just want to stick with the pre-baked versions from le Twitter?

It's not clear from the readme how Aura is supposed to be used. Is it meant as a starting point or as an inspiration?

If it's meant as a starting point, I think LESS would be great to quickly set up the dev.

[addyosmani]

I see Aura as a starting point. It was originally supposed to be nothing more than a reference implementation, but I think it's getting to a point where we can do a lot more with it. I would be happy for us to switch to using LESS if we're going to opt for Bootstrap on the visual styles front.

These should all be plugins. I think Aura should be clean and small, only containing what is absolutely necessary to the JS web application structure. Than every person using it can choose if it wants to work with html5boilerplate, Twitter Bootstrap, Foundation, LESS, SASS, etc.

I see this project offering people a base (Aura) and a demonstration of how it can be extended to work with, say Backbone (via the demo app). We could if we really wanted to specifically offer the extensions directory that cover Backbone up as a component and make that even more clearly separated from the demo app. Thoughts?

[gersongoulart]

Yeah, you got it. That's exactly what I meant.
