I'm leaning towards Omega myself. If anyone else feels strongly (and plans to help with theming) please speak up here.

There's also a really great argument for Tao here: I'm inclined to agree with simplicity and not adding complexity. Thoughts?

I usually only borrow parts from base theme...it always feels cleaner to just start a theme in pure HTML/CSS and then add in the appropriate Drupal bits.

I'm with juliaset on this one. We'll want to really control the experience for different devices so keeping things flexible should be key. To me that means not being tied down to any specific structure/grid system. The structure/grid will be there, but it'll be our own. That article also makes a few good points for not using a base theme.

Ok, sounds like some good arguments for *no base theme*.

I've really grown accustomed to using LESS for CSS lately. Any thoughts/objections there? I've experimented with both SASS and LESS and found LESS to be cleaner, leaner, and much more CSS-like (and therefore more designer-friendly). The trick is coming up with a good workflow. I've been using Less.app for Mac http://incident57.com/less/ and it makes for a pretty seamless process.

My only thing I think we should NOT do is use the LESS module. Compiling less on the fly can have some benefits, like DOM variables, but I hate to risk WSOD for something like that.

I think we've decided to do our own theme with no base.
