Great to see open source, light-weight, backbone based, frameworks =D
I am building a mobile application for a project I am working on and for this I have also (after using a lot of other libraries) built my own framework.
This is my sass port of ratchet (just starting).
It basically adds vendor prefixes, and puts a couple of main colors in a variable, and calculates all colors with the darken() method in sass. I am not really happy with the variable names yet, so expect a lot of change in this repo.
Jocks (JavaScript Blocks) is based on Backbone + MarionetteJS, it allows me to have JavaScript create the DOM elements for me (and keeping a reference to it), and allows me to define methods on a block to manipulate it easily after it has rendered. Basically, any component will only be rendered once, after that, it's manipulation. I am planning on wrapping up Bootstrap too, and use it for building web applications.
3) jockstrap-ratchet
This library is based on tbranyen's excellent backbone-boilerplate (https://github.com/tbranyen/backbone-boilerplate), extends the "jocks blocks" to make it play nice with the phone, and includes a nice build process to minify all your stuff into 3 files.
I would love to see how we can help each other out, for example, a good start would be to put both our efforts in creating and maintaining a single sass / less port for Ratchet.
Oh, I'll put my project on Hackers News once it is more complete (along with a demo and a getting started guide).

It consists of 3 packages.
