Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Our site is built with the bootstrap frontend framework. This is rendering everything from containers and card layouts, to the responsiveness of the mobile elements, to the motion of the dropdown megamenu.

Without bootstrap the following components will break:

• Navbar (built using the nav component as well as the accordion component)
• Footer (built using the nav component)
• OpenSearch solutions providers filterbar. (built using dropdowns, accordion and offcanvas components)

Without bootstrap many pages's layout and rendering will also be broken. Many pages use bootstrap extension of flexbox as well as the bootstrap grid and row/column layout rendering.
Many pages use the margin and padding auto-styling to the left and right.
The responsiveness of the following pages are directly being rendered from bootstrap:

• Homepage
• navbar
• blog
• solutions-providers
• footer

The biggest lift would be the dropdown-megamenu-navbar. It is heavily dependent on bootstrap.

Describe the solution you'd like to see

Should be discussed ahead of time with the Linux Foundation.
Easiest solution is if Bootstrap is built into the new WordPress theme.

Megamenu is built on bootstrap:

These dropdowns are dependent on bootstrap

Converting an existing website into a Wordpress theme is a simple operation by all accounts. I think the only potential thing holding us back is if the LF plans on forcing us into a particular theme, which isn't really a dealbreaker. We can always include bootstrap on the pages where it's required.

Still a lot up in the air about it until we have technical discussions with technical personnel at LF.
