The funny thing is that until now all involved people (including 
Stephane and me) are *not* web designers at all. So while we have 
considerable TS and packaging know-how, at the moment we're lacking 
support from the design/HTML/CSS/accessibility front ;)

This is strange because I remember a lot of postings here which ran like 
"I'd like to contribute but I'm only a html/css/dreamweaver expert". So 
either we have managed to keep this people from the list, or they're 
just not interested...

I've done that with almost no success, so I'm not really optimistic 
about that.

It is going on already, I got a reply from Stephane who will help, and 
there will be a first release with a few templates soon. Anyway, we 
still need help, e.g.
- checking, cleaning, modularizing the TS code
- checking and cleaning the HTML and CSS
- preparing new templates
- you name it

Stephane and I will possibly post a request for help, along with 
submission guidelines and general hints.

Greetings,
Michael
