    What would it take to get Studiopress to come out with a bootstrap version of genesis.

    Though they've lifted the column width calculations from bootstrap there's still a fair amount of work to either integrate the two or take the best bits from bootstrap3 and merge into the genesis child theme - possibly with options / bits from other genesis html5 themes. Saying that there's more similarity between genesis2 & bootstrap3 for html/css standards.

    If you've ever dived into bootstrap3 css you'll realise how much they use heirarchy structures for each section. Had my head spinning. Genesis is much more flat structured in comparison.

    Not sure whether the core genesis devs would ever get into this, probably too much to support. Something I've considerd doing after using bootstrap with opencart.

    Another one I'd like to see genesified is html5boilerplate.

    Clean, up-to-date. Good starting point for a lot of templates.

    Doesn't have a lot of the knobs & twiddly bits of bootstrap. Uses normalise.css as the core styling for current & legacy browsers which genesis2 does as well.

    You may want to look at: http://genesissandbox.com/

    Not sure how up to date it is as far as bootstrap3 & genesis2 but worth a look.

    Is there a way to privately message/email one another from the forums?

    Genesis Sandbox is not under active development anymore.

    Currently the best Bootstrap framework for WordPress is Shoestrap, it's much more powerful than Genesis but the project is pretty new and there's almost no documentation.

    I really hope that Genesis will become something like that.
