Roots is a starting WordPress theme made for developers that’s based on HTML5 Boilerplate and Bootstrap from Twitter.

Difference to the original: Adding and removing a few forced choices, esp. the cleanup stuff. Another goal: proper OOP Singleton patterns - removing all that moronic procedural crap which might - and always does! - lead to nasty accidents with multiple defined functions.. asides of being unreadable!
