I think we need to come together and make donations of at least U.S. 10:00
U.S. dollars to fund the changes. The community web2py will be happier,
harder and making the job easier.

> 5) Port admin on top of bootstrap (while preserving the artwork).

> 3. Form Validation: would be nice to use bootstrap form validation

> forms. (Example:
> http://wbpreview.com/previews/WB0F35928/form-validation.html )
> 4. Notifications: Use Bootstrap notifications for flash, overriding
> the web2py growl notifications. (Lot's of options here:
