One thing I think we can learn from the mollie templates is the value of having a single static HTML page with all the basic html elements in place.
With all the different components of a site in a single page, makes it not only easier for new designers know what all the different elements that should be themed, but it also allows the customers/users see the whole theme on a single page.
One of the hardest thing, I found when I first started working on drupal was figuring out all the different components that were available not only in core but also the contrib. Something like the pot file generator that would pull all the themeable components into a single static html would be invaluable timesaver and make life alot more easier for many themers. In addition, it would make the presentation of templates more clearer b/c people can see the themed site instead of a screenshot. Lastly, it make the themes more consistent b/c every core elements of core would be themed and we would won't end up with themes which choose to theme some modules and not others.
I'd like to hear other people's opinion about whether creating a statis page for theming agains is a good idea.
