This is the specific boilerplate that I use to start my projects. It uses SASS for CSS, contains a checklist/notes file to ensure smooth launches and clear communication, and gets rid of some things that were cruft as far as I was concerned (Boilerplate touch icons and favicon, QUnit as I'm planning to use Jasmine, and some commenting I found unnecessary).

This is from the original project, not this fork, but I thought it'd be a shame to give them any less credit than deserved. And of course, huge thanks to Paul Irish for making the boilerplate a reality.
