I assume Dreamweaver does CSS today. Is that correct?
Yes and it already does XHTML 1.0 Strict too.
Should it pick from a couple solid bases, like Garland and Minetti?
Something similar. I see mostly frameworks for different types of designs.
And it would use an Assistant Interface for the building each theme.
Do you want to use PHP based PHPTemplate or a mark-up template language like Smarty or PHPTal? Our target users are not PHP devs, if they have learn PHP it's going to be a problem.
PHPTemplate is the way to go unless the theme method is changing again D6 like in D5. And the PHP would be just drag and drop. There will be a panel for all of the Drupal PHP functions. And when you hover over them in Dreamwweaver it will explain what the function does.
And have all of the theme template code built in so it would be drag and drop.
So we need a library of template files or template functions that can be stubbed in.
Correct. Too bad the theme documentation for Drupal is so poor. Or it would allow the developer of the extension to finish it faster but with all the options of Drupal for each person to create their own unique theme.
And as I mentioned before output XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS 2.0 and Section 508 compliant code. And each template made would have comments about the theme elements that could be used in that particular template. And then allow you to modify the theme even more manually. If there is something missing please let me know.
How's that for a start?
Cheers,
