Implementing Yeti Built Foundation 6 Theme in to Big Commerce Stencil - zurb-foundation

How would I go about implementing my Foundation 6 based site in to the Big Commerce stencil framework as a store theme?
My site was built in Zurbs Yeti development process.
What would be the best practices and ways to do so?
Kind Regards,
Shane

We have some information listed here about the files installed by the ZURB Foundation framework.
Stencil's Foundation support is limited to version 5.5.3, so you may have difficulty trying to use a higher version, but I'd reference the link above for more info on achieving this.

Zurb Foundation Docs and Demo site - Create local copy?

Zurb broke their documentation site for V4.3.2 of Foundation. Unfortunately, I have a site using that version that can't be upgraded. I need ongoing, reliable access to see the docs and examples/demos for that version. Is there a way to install those on my own system, like Telerik allows you to do that with their controls?
That way I wouldn't have to depend on Zurb keeping the docs working for old versions of Foundation.
https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/v/4.3.2/
For a short term fix I used the web archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161120155204/http://foundation.zurb.com:80/sites/docs/v/4.3.2/
to access the site.
Once Zurb gets their site back up, I'll update this answer if I figure out how to duplicate their doc site locally.

JavaScript Routing in Zurb Foundation

I'm getting into Zurb's Foundation for a client, and I'm wondering if it has any concept of routing JavaScript to specific pages. I've semi- built my own framework that routes JavaScript for specific pages, only loading what's needed for the current page.
I'm seeing Angular mentioned often; would this be addressed by that? Any help is appreciated! Feel free to tell me if this needs more clarification; again I'm just getting into Foundation, and can't seem to find if this is addressed or not.
Zurb Foundation is a responsive front-end framework. You load what is needed depending on your plugins or not usage.
If you have developed your own system of including js' that you need based on the page you could certainly use it with foundation.
Your second question could be answered by visiting the angularjs.org site and reading about the framework. It is more of a MVC emulation system to support a dynamic html approach.

Has Sitecore 8 built-in support for MVC areas?

Is Sitecore 8 has built-in support for MVC areas? Or do I still need to install sitecore plugins?
Thanks
Quoting Kevin Brechbühl (from The Sitecore MVC puzzle):
Sitecore has no support for areas out of the box, but there are multiple solutions available for integrate them in your solutions:
Resolve the area in the mvc.renderRendering-pipeline
Use a custom ControllerRunner and a custom Renderer
Resolve the area by the configurations
We also saw that Sitecore is working on a solution to integrate areas into the core. Rumor has it that they will integrate a similar pattern as BrainJocks does with the mvc.renderRendering pipeline.

Forum module for Sitecore 7.*

I'm building a website which requires forum integration to a Sitecore build - I've checked on the Sitecore website and they suggest YetAnotherForum and Telligent Community Integration Module. Both of these modules tho only support up till 6.4.1 and 6.4 respectively - I'm using Sitecore 7.0.
Logged a ticket with Sitecore and they came back with the following:
We have no information about Forum modules that are compatible with Sitecore 7.1. I would recommend you to contact your regional office and check whether they could advise you something.
Any suggestions?
First of all Telligent supports Sitecore 7.
Reference link
I have been working with Sitecore and Telligent Community integration from quite time and from my experience i have this opinion.
For deep integration it is quite a lot of work and requires much knowledge of both the product and costs will be high for licensing & deployment. But i can assure you that Telligent will work in Sitecore newer version also. However with higher costs you will get more rich functionality, Facebook like Activity Stream, and Apart from Forums it also has Blogs, Wikis, Media Gallery.
Telligent supports two kind of integrations:
1. Side by Side Integration - In this Sitecore and Telligent both will be user facing.
2. Integration mode - In this user will be mostly in Sitecore.
Reference link
If you are Sitecore Partner you will get trial license of Telligent. For details check 'Social Starter Kit' on Sitecore SDN site. Also there is video on YouTube regarding Sitecore & Telligent Integration in Sitecore Virtual User Group community.
I have no experience on YAF module so can't suggest on that.
Did you try to install YAF integration module, https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/YAF_integration.aspx, i think it would run on Sitecore 7, since this module mainly integrate YAF with Sitecore security, i don't see why it should not run on Sitecore 7.
The Telligent product was renamed, I suggest you take a look at http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-community/sitecore-starter.html and contact them. I'm unaware of what version they're targeted at right now.

Stability of Confluence 4.0

I would appreciate feedback on experience with Confluence 4.0 from people who have implemented this version. In particular have you found the 4.0 release stable in your environments?
I've found it exceptional on my Ubuntu 10.10 - stable, but I'm running a limited number of users.
Installer was improved. I miss full-page wiki markup, but clipboard support to copy and paste images directly on a page is excellent.
Personally speaking, it was worth the upgrade.
I'm developing plugins for confluence. If you have a confluence 3.x instance with lots of 3rd party plugins - upgrading to confluence 4 won't work because most 3rd party plugins are not (yet) confluence 4 compatible. Check compatibility for each of the plugins on https://plugins.atlassian.com
