CodeIgniter + HTML5 Boilerplate + Twitter Bootstrap
I'm trying to start a new project, and was looking for the "ultimate" package to kick-start off with for PHP/MySQL/HTML5 development. Tried CodeIgniter first, which was great. Then discovered Twitter Bootstrap, and integrated that in nicely. Finally, found HTML5 Boilerplate, which looked awesome, and saw that some people were putting together mixes of these three.
Was wondering if anyone has actually been able to put together and run an integration of all three well? I see there's a github repo for this: https://github.com/vesparny/codeigniter-html5boilerplate-twitter-bootstrap, but I couldn't find any StackOverflow inquiries on it. Anyone have some experience they could share before I jump in? Didn't want to spend days trying to figure it out, just to find out it would've been easier/better to just stick with pure CodeIgniter or just HTML5BP.

i'm the author of that library you've looking into. https://github.com/vesparny/codeigniter-html5boilerplate-twitter-bootstrap
Tw bootstrap and H5BP can be simply mixed together as you can see in my code; Codeigniter is a great framework but lacks in view organization imho. With this library you can take advantage of the best client side tools, and the most famous and simple php framework with some enhancement that would speed up and better organize your code and approach to code with codeigniter.
