I wrote that I don't care "at this point". Which means I want to discuss
contents first. I agree that there should be one general design for the main
impression.

But I I also like Valerys idea of doing multiple sites, like one standard
template, one TemplaVoila and also in different designs. I'd like to have
something daring and different on that level.

I think we should have the full thing on the demo site, offer the TYPO3Live
Download and ordering too.
People will want to get it in their hands, I am sure.
