[This idea](https://code52.uservoice.com/forums/143105-code-52/suggestions/2465600-metro-css-built-on-bootstrap) started out as something straight-forward which we suggested before Code52 had officially started, and we've had a couple of projects touch on the [Metro design language](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(design_language)) - our [Markpad](http://code52.org/DownmarkerWPF/) app in particular. And with Windows 8 nudging towards a new public build, more and more people are curious abbout it.

While we might not use Bootstrap *specifically* (while the layout portions would be very relevant, how much time would be spent unsetting styles for buttons and other elements?), we want to see something similar for helping people build Metro-style applications.
