That's exactly what we want to address in Drupal 6. :)
I haven't followed the details of the whole conversation, but having watched a two-day theming workshop with about 30 attendees, and seen the questions they put forward, I'd say that Earl's identified needs are right on target.
Finding themable code, and overcoming the large amount of logic in certain key themable functions, is a big issue.
Agreed. I think both Ber's, Earl's and Adrian/Vlado/chx/Dries/core's efforts are well worth pursuing. They all serve the same purpose -- making Drupal more accessible to themers. Jeff: would be great to see some of your themer training feedback flow back into core. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
