[themes] Dreamweaver CS3 Extension for Drupal Themeing

Wed Aug 15 16:10:16 UTC 2007

Peter, my suggestion would be to go with ChipIn as it's a tool that's worked
successfully on Groups.drupal.org.

Also, I think we need to do more work on spec so people know what the would
be supporting and we need to get more feedback on a spec that people would
be willing to pay for it.

Cheers,
Kieran
