CSS Framework recommendations

[Jonathan Hung]

Hi everyone,

After some time doing research into the utility of 3rd party CSS frameworks
to be used for Fluid, the following is the proposed recommendation:

- CSS framework is not recommended for Fluid components at this time
primarily due to the lack of custom name spacing. Without proper name
spacing, there is a chance that there will be classname collisions which
will make it difficult to integrate Fluid components.

- CSS framework is fine to be used for websites, demos, and other
integration / non-component scenarios.

- Zurb Foundation is the suggested framework to be used.

- Continue using default styles in Fluid components and leave it to the
integrator to customize with their own CSS framework if they choose to.

- There may be an opportunity to add new features to Learner Preferences
that can transform CSS framework components (like navigation bars and
button links). Further discussion is encouraged.

For more details, please refer to this document on the Fluid wiki:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Fluid+Project+Support+for+CSS+Frameworks


Please feel free to comment and ask questions.

Thanks!

- Jon.

PS. Thanks to Johnny and Anastasia for helping out with the research.
