Or they think my themes suck. Both possible. :-)
Hey, thanks Tim I think your themes are nice, better than some on the Contest site as well. Can I put this with all of the Contest themes for my mirror/migration of all the themes? Do these all work on trunk, or just 2.6.0? I know many/most of the themes on the contest site are broken for trunk, but probably most work with 2.6.0 - plus it's not that hard to fix most of the themes (see earlier post here, or a howto on my site linking to Pier's) as I was able to get Lucid running on trunk easily. I have mirrored all of the themes from the contest site (that weren't dead links) and am putting together a crude navigation once I weed out all the lost themes then I'll share them here, and if it's cool, move them to your svn server. I just didn't want to do much until they Typo Theme folks did, I neither want to reinvent the wheel *or* step on toes, but I see a need and want to give back, plus after 5 months I think the time to move is upon us. Let's get svn up with either sep repositories for 2.6.0 / trunk / 4.0.0 or paths, this way the ones working in trunk should migrate to 4.0.0 right when or after it comes out, giving folks trying out typo a simple way to get new themes. Heck, if they weren't distributed with Typo we could have a script with 4.0.0 (within the admin GUI would be sweet) that says, "Update all themes" which would issue a svn checkout command with a tag just for 4.0.0 themes and checkout new themes and update the 'old' ones in one fell swoop! Now that 'd add value. Comments? I feel like I've either gotten the ball rolling, or rocking at least, but kicking it enough times.
