theme wishlist?
by David Reed 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

I started this forum thread as a place to capture designs that people would like to see ported to Drupal and also a place for theme developers to "volunteer" for some of the porting work. As you can see the thread has gotten quite long. At last count (and I think I'm a little behind) there have been 25 designs suggested (including the Millio design discussed on the dev list), with 14 designs having a volunteer, and at least 4 (maybe 5 completed). My question to the community (and the maintainers of themes.drupal.org) Should this list be moved to themes.drupal.org? Is there value in maintaining an ongoing wish list of desirable designs? If we think there is value but we don't think it belongs on themes.drupal.org then any suggestions for a home?

Which makes it even easier. Nice. > It becomes a LOT simpler to write a theme editor, Not so excited about that one. I've got BBEdit, Smultron, Dreamweaver, Quanta Plus and CSSED. Professional tools win out over in page editors every time :) Still, I can see that certain people and companies using Drupal would welcome that. > it becomes possible to distribute alternative template files, like > different node views etc. That's also excellent! I don't suppose we could also say that modules don't need to ship with their own CSS files could we? -- Adrian Simmons (aka adrinux) <http://adrinux.perlucida.com> e-mail <mailto:adrinux@perlucida.com>

So we set up a themes(a)drupal.org mailing list to build a focused community to address theme issues. Unfortunately, it's not really taken off because people(Adrian, Ber, Nick this week alone) keep posting theme related issues to the development list. There hasn't been a new post since Feb 26th on the themes list. I'll leave it to your discretion where to post but Drupal themes mailing lists need support. As a side note we have people demanding that new mailing lists be set up for events management but at the same time existing lists like documentation and themes are running at or close to idle. It's pretty hard to keep defending that Drupal work be coordinated through drupal.org if we don't even use our own tools.
