We currently have two Polymer boilerplate projects being used by the 
community to create new elements.

   - element-boilerplate<https://github.com/webcomponents/element-boilerplate> 
by 
   Zeno Rocha
   - polymer-boilerplate <https://github.com/addyosmani/polymer-boilerplate> by 
   me

Zeno and I are currently discussing how best to consolidate and improve 
these efforts and were wondering if there were any thoughts about an 
'official' Polymer boilerplate being offered up to users. We're happy to 
continue working away on boilerplate efforts regardless but just wanted to 
check :)

Some of the areas we would love to improve our story on are:

   - *Documentation *- at present neither boilerplate prescribes a way to 
   approach this. We're interested in whether the current approach the Polymer 
   team are using around <polymer-doc-viewer> is something worth suggesting at 
   this point.
   - *Unit testing* - we get asked about this a lot but are unsure if 
   Polymer has a 'preferred' testing stack just yet. I've seen some elements 
   using Mocha/Chai for this and we could put together something the team 
   could perhaps review.
   - *Tooling* - Zeno's boilerplate offers barebones tooling (Grunt + 
   connect) whilst mine prescribes Vulcanizer, JS/CSS/Image optimization and a 
   kitchen-sink of tooling. We'd be interested in what the Polymer team is a 
   sweet-spot worth suggesting.

We realize that it's still early days for the Polymer eco-system and things 
are still being worked out. We feel that the earlier we can prescribe some 
common-sense best practices (which can evolve over time), the better.

Any thoughts here would be much appreciated :)
