If we could possibly be cross-compatible I think that would be better -- i.e. can we change to have our buddypress theme inherit from the twentyten in the same way our main theme does. This would also mean it is a realistic possible to merge all of this into one theme (which would be much better -- otherwise we have to maintain two versions ...) > (and not use it if buddypress plugin is not installed/activated) > > Yes, the 'new' theme also works if buddypress is not installed. > > or do we need a completely separate theme. > > We don't need a completely seperate theme, I was just thinking that it might > be a good idea to keep a version of our theme without the buddypress files > as a backup... I don't think we need to keep it separately (we can always tag the mercurial revision where we last had the non-buddypress theme -- or even create a mercurial branch, though that is getting complicated). > The CSS for the okfn-buddypress theme is more or less done (buddypress.css). > I uploaded the bp-okfn theme to staging.okfn.org and activated it, but it > still needs some testing.

Yes, I think that's a good idea (Jonathan and others will also be around ...)
