This is in advance of further investigation of a small-device-specific grid.\r\n\r\nCheck out this branch: https://github.com/zurb/foundation/tree/grid-trial\r\n\r\nYou'll see some inconsistencies in the examples right now as well as on the marketing site if you check that out, but we'd like those of you who are interested in how we handle the grid to poke around at this and give us your feedback here. Here's what I see right now:\r\n\r\n- It simplifies the percentages for the grid elements themselves, so the math is easier\r\n- Fixed gutters means that even on very large displays we don't have to worry about the gutters becoming stupidly huge\r\n- It would be much easier in this setup to add or remove columns to have, say, a 24 column grid, or a 10 column grid.\r\n- We would lose support for IE7/8 unless we're very crafty\r\n\r\nAgain, check out the branch and chime in here. We'll keep it going separately while we evaluate it.","html_url":"https://github.com/zurb/foundation/issues/67","number":67,"title":"We'd like feedback on an alternate grid approach","id":2116199,"created_at":"2011-11-01T22:56:39Z"},"action":"opened"}
