@JeroenVinke WOW
I had no idea that you wrote this https://aurelia-ui-toolkits.gitbooks.io/kendo-ui-sdk-installation/content/installation/installing%20kendo/advanced/pro/requirejs.html
Being under the impression how there is nothing on how to use KendoUI with CLI, I put on a heroic hat and went on breaking new ground (not knowing anything about CLI realistically). In addition to wishing to create a really details instructions for that @SaucyJack dude. As I really wanted to make it easy to understand I decided to do it in three steps:
https://adriatic.gitbooks.io/aurelia-cli/content/initial-steps/basic-cli-application.html
https://adriatic.gitbooks.io/aurelia-cli/content/initial-steps/skeleton-typescript.html
https://adriatic.gitbooks.io/aurelia-cli/content/initial-steps/skeleton-typescript-kendoui.html
where the last one (3.) has yet to be written using the information from your response to my today's question.
Even more, I created the alternative (shorter) version of the Contact Manager Tutorial, describing just the salient points of Aurelia CLI in the context of a larger, complete story written by Rob.

A few comments on https://adriatic.gitbooks.io/aurelia-cli/content/initial-steps/contact-manager-tutorial.html:
I understand why did you write
Nope, you need to install the package through npm (npm install kendo-ui or whatever) and then add an entry to aurelia.json yourself
at September 18, 2017 10:18 AM. It's because of the statements like

and { "name": "kendo", "path": "../node_modules/@progress/kendo-ui/", "resources": [ "js/kendo.button.js" ] }, Why could I not replace the part of the path node_modules/@progress/kendo-ui/css... with the path that references my manually added folder with the Windows explorer? I am also going to do what you suggested September 18, 2017 10:24 AM and report back here.

A question, as well (from this page):
Does line 2 (npm install jquery --save) indicates how the most current bridge works with whatever jquery version gets installed? I understand that the previous limitation on jQuery version was effected by JSPM (not being used here), but I believe that Telerik still wants their users to install the jQuery that ships with KendoUI SDK

Nikolaj Ivancic @adriatic Sep 18 14:48
Oh, and your advice on change to aurelia.json
"jquery",
{
"name": "kendo",
"path": "../node_modules/@progress/kendo-ui/",
"resources": [
"js/kendo.button.js"
]
},
is made to ensure that all single file elements of KendoUI SDK are present in the kendo-ui folder:

I like this a lot - complete control for a nice definition of the SDK subset that one will use (I am trying to load the whole elephant just for being lazy - and to present the crudest case where the access exists for all SDK elements)

Nikolaj Ivancic @adriatic Sep 18 14:54
Last question (I think): If I add KendoSDK widgets (elements) as resources, how do I reference in the application .ts files, when there is no import statement present?

@JeroenVinke - I preferred not to create a storm in a teapot, so I am reporting this issue here aurelia-tools/acb-samples#2
Until you tell me what is wrong with this, I will use the simple on-line entry for "text" in aurelia.json
