Hey Trae, Makes perfect sense. That's exactly what I intended my theme work to be used for. Basically a CSS Zen Garden in a theme! So yeah, I don't know how to do it, but I would very much like to pass the maintainship of the themes over to you. How do we do that on Drupal.org?

Hi Chris,

These themes will be rolled into the new CivicSpace theme when we get the time. The "skins"(as we are calling them -- more on that later) will be pulled in.

I am also going to be porting the occy.net theme to be a "skin" for the CS theme, and we'll be taking submissions, for other included skins(and layouts) after things get settled down.

I am very excited about where the CS theme is going to go, it's just going to take a wee bit of time(not too much more though) to get there.

PS. Just as a note:

We have a new system we are building into the CS theme. Layouts and Skins.

Layouts will be "plain" element positions. These layouts can be used as a base theme if you want to build a "skin" on top of it.

A Skin for the CS theme is going to be the actual theme, or style. You should be able to take a skin, and move it to another layout and get a different layout but with the same colors.

This might not make sense now, but when we get things polished, and the documentation(Robin "mozillaman" Monks will be writing) is done, I'm sure everyone will see the huge benefits.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a new maintainer for Spread Firefox, Lincoln's Revenge, Democratica who can take those original styles and port them to the CivicSpace XHTML foundation (http://drupal.org/project/civicspace_theme). If you want details on this task, let me know. It's just become quite obvious that I don't have the time to maintain these themes and it's time for someone else to move them forward!

Chris
