Which Framework CSS could we try on our Codestyle ?

[Polo2]

Which CSS framework for our Toolbox ?

My opinion would be to seize the opportunity of developing this project by testing a major and actual CSS framework, including third-party for Rails. Thus, Imy first choice would be Foundation, by using ruby gem foundation-rails .

What do you think about ?
