Overview:

The Boy npm package should no longer be used for this project, as it has been given to someone else. However, Boy comes with a project launcher feature that allows users to create a Boy boilerplate with all the necessary files. This includes an index.html file with irrelevant content removed, a modified editorconfig file, an outdated browser warning specific to IE9, minified and sourcemapped reeeset (Normalize.css for the real world), polyfills for IE8 and below, html5shiv in the correct location, calc-polyfill, jQuery 1.x.x, Selectivizr 2, Respond.js, an empty/valid package.json file for easy npm installation, and a .gitignore file for Node, Bower, and Sass.
