There are several implementation decision that needs to be voted if we decide to go with this skin, like you said panels, menus, administration layout, rewriting some application's layout, etc. Regarding LESS, Bootstrap works with LESS (both server and client side) and there is also another project that replaces LESS with Sass to work with Bootstrap. This is another implementation decision, since we could adopt LESS or even Bootstrap or just make a separation of skins, by having a really "base"/"core"/"api" skin (that in general should contain just the basis, like typography, grids, reset, forms, etc. and that we would need to write) and another skin on top of it (that should define the layout, skin colors and additional styling) that could be more easily changed. We could use LESS or just expand our velocity macros (to have more 'mixins' like functionality) and more "ColorThemes"/"Skin" variables.
