* What do you think of the general idea of redesigning lenya?
A redesign would be great - but a templating system similar to that
available in other cms systems would surely be better?
Whilst we can create xhtml templates or hack the lenya xsl files - it
would be much more elegant to be able to create a template and
import it
into the authoring environment.

For me establishing a new templating mechanism and redesigning lenya
are two different things.
My personal taste is, that templating using xslt is one of lenyas
great sides - a bit of a learning curve, but very flexible - and done
in a standard way.
If we'd like to attract designers we should provide a way to start
with the design without any programming or templating knowledge
(Photoshop, Fireworks templates). If the xhtml is clean, pretty much
everything can go into css - so delivering a bit of xhtml should do it.
A fun way of doing a contest for the default publication could be a
publication where users can upload css files (and referenced images) -
a css zen garden lenya publication - but that might be quite some work
to setup.
A much more demanding task is redesigning the cms authoring gui.
