Hello Satchmo developers! Has there been any talk of changing the default Satchmo theme to a responsive design? I've a got a client with a Satchmo installation and a skin based on the default theme who'd like to go responsive. I was thinking this would be an excellent opportunity to contribute back to Satchmo if it hadn't already done. If this turns out to be something we'd be interested in, I'd solicit feedback from the community on what the mobile- and tablet- designs should look like.

Kevin,
I'd love to be able to help but could not guarantee a quick turn around.  

Interested to see if anybody else has done anything yet - ive looked here and there, and have also thought about building some 'themes' just to get people started - similar to what you could get off of themeforest for example

I would be very open to including some updated CSS in the default theme. I will be the first to admit it needs some updating!

I would say that most people probably just use the templates solely for functionality (i.e. what tags/variables are available, etc.) and probably scrap the majority of the html and css.

Would there be any interest is starting with an existing framework, like Twitter Bootstrap or Zurb's Foundation? Or would it be best to just roll our own?

Also, how fast would we need to turn this around to get it into 0.9.3?

Bootstrap would be something IMO

Don't know. I don't use default templates in any real projects.

I've started on this with Twitter Bootstrap. My plan was to go through the entirety of Satchmo's style.css and remove as much as possible, allowing the default Bootstrap CSS to take over.
