</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br><br>Hello all<br><br>For tomorrow I have an upgrade of <a href="http://themes.drupal.org">themes.drupal.org</a> planned. And after taht I<br>want to change some concepts on short basis.
<br><br>What will change during/after the upgrade:<br> The themeswitcher <a href="http://themes.drupal.org/themeswitcher">http://themes.drupal.org/themeswitcher</a> will dissapear<br>completely. It looks like crap, is not used often (acc to the logs) and it is
<br>horrible in performance (no paging, no caching, read s files from disk to<br>generate the listing etc. We should/must look at a PHP page on <a href="http://Drupal.org">Drupal.org</a><br>very soon, or else automate some
project.module stuff to link to<br><a href="http://themes.drupal.org">themes.drupal.org</a>. After all: selecting/finding themes is not the task of<br><a href="http://themes.drupal.org">themes.drupal.org</a><br><br> We will have a completely skinned down Drupal on
<a href="http://themes.drupal.org">themes.drupal.org</a>. Actually<br>it will be a Drupal with only story.module, comment.module, a few published<br>stories and a few comments. The rest are required (admin) modules. I will
<br>remove all other modules.<br>This makes a horrible representation of themes/Drupal. Esp because the<br>niceness of themes is not defined by how well they render a story (Drupal is<br>far more then a blogging system). But by how well they handle the forums,
<br>aggregators and the admin area. How well they handle popular contribs such<br>as images. We need to find a solutution for this!<br><br> We *really* need some process to select themes. Currently I am the only one<br>that manually reads trough theme code and the theme CSS/HTML to see if a
<br>theme is fit for <a href="http://themes.drupal.org">themes.drupal.org</a>. This leads to a) a huge lag, themes may<br>be released for months before available b) a big security hole. I have only<br>two eyes, and simply reading code is NOT a security measure. Simply
<br>trusting/installing committed and released contribs (themes) is not an option<br>IMO on our infrastructure. In the current pace we will get approx 10-15% of<br>the released themes online on <a href="http://themes.drupal.org">
themes.drupal.org</a> without endangering<br><a href="http://drupal.org">drupal.org</a> too much!<br><br><br>Bčr<br>--<br>[ End-user Drupal services and hosting | <a href="http://Sympal.nl">Sympal.nl</a> ]<br><br>Layoutkeuze, de stap voordat je gaat (laten) ontwerpen.:
