Are you guys familiar with https://drupal.org/project/zurb-foundation?

It seems to be a more active project with a larger user base, but Zoundation's compatibility with JS components is much better.

Is there a reason these are separate projects, we're trying to decide which one will work better for our team and the ideal version would be Zoundation's features with how active the Zurb Foundation theme is.

Very interested in your thoughts.

Yes, we are familiar with Zurb Foundaiton and talked with Ishmael at Drupalcon Portland.

Here is our reasoning for not joining forces: https://drupal.org/node/1864334

It is potentially possible to use the Zoundation Support module with the Zurb Foundation theme.

What specific features are you looking for? I am planning on doing a big update in the next few weeks.

From drupalcon Portland the maintainers of zurb-foundation were actively discouraging the approach we use of including an additional module because "that creates an additional dependency." I personally don't see this as an issue and integrating with a module is the only way to get some of the functionality that we were aiming for. This is likely why your assessment that "Zoundation's compatibility with the JS components is much better." Different approaches, and depending on your use case, one may be "better" than the other.

As a result of the differing points of view here it makes sense for these to be different projects. We are aiming for complete compatibility between zoundation and zoundation_support. As Andrea indicates there is potential for zoundation support to be used with zurb-foundation, but that is a secondary issue for our goals.

My personal opinion is that you should assess both projects for your team, workflow and use case(s) and see which is a better fit for you based on your needs and criteria.
