The first mention I can find for "bootstrap" is bug 10309 and is less than 
six months old: "I started the redesign by throwing out everything in 
opac.css and starting from scratch..."

I'm not sure what exactly is meant by "bootstrap" in the Koha context (in 
years gone by I did occasionally get involved in programming bootstrap 
hardware which were independent boxes for starting-up main-frames) 
particularly as regards continuity. We spent quite some time getting our 
OPAC to "look the way we wanted it" -- basically a seamless continuation of 
our main website -- and when we upgrade Koha next year I'd like to thing 
that we don't have to totally reinvent the wheel.

Is it possible to point me towards an overview of what is being suggested? 
What is being "deleted" and what is being "added"? I can only guess "start 
from zero."

As a possible non-sequitur, a W3 css verification of one of our OPAC pages 
comes up with 256 "errors", all of them, as far as I can see, from .yui 
style sheets. So there is most probably enormous room for improvement.

Many thanks and best regards,
Paul
