We need a GuruDesigner and a GuruThemer (hopefully the same person) | SocialNicheGuru.com
My company, SocialNicheGuru.com, is developing our platform based on Drupal 6 (yes Drupal 6 for various reasons).
We need someone who is a great artist and a great themer too.
I am doing a great deal of development and I am almost done. But I am not the artist that you are.
We are using OpenAtrium, Open Publish, and other off the shelf basic themes.
We need the look and feel to be consistent even if our subsites are based on different distributions.
We will start with one and incorporate others over time.
We also have client needs.

Design Initiative - Design Brief Proposal
Over the past months we've had many discussions here in the d4d group, at various Drupal camps, IRC and in the issue queues. I have kept notes and references to most of these discussions and based on those prepared a proposed design brief for the design initiative. It would be good if someone can enable comments on this wiki page, so we can discuss this and make changes etc to the brief. This is my initial idea - what is missing is a link to a demo site (I am setting that up today, I have a pretty good boilerplate site thats a good starting point).
Database development prior to MySQL
I am seeking advice about what might be the best database program to use to create a large pre-MySQL database, from which I will select the content to export/import/enter into a Drupal MySQL database.
I am developing my first Drupal site -- a web portal where information will be organized by relevance to various generations. The site will launch with a Baby Boomer orientation, with information organized for various baby boomer niches, and then expand to serve more generational niches.

design.drupal.org Prototype for Review
Over the past few months we've been working away behind the scenes on the Drupal Design site prototype. There are quite a number of technical considerations when building a new drupal.org sub-site so these needed to be ironed out before we could really show this off.
I've posted a number of screen grabs to Notable and we can use these to collect comments and feedback on the various screens throughout the site - you can leave general comments here but if you're wanting to leave comments about the actual screens please post those to Notable.

Twenty Eleven theme for Wordpress 3.2
Anyone spotted the demo for the Twenty Eleven theme for Wordpress 3.2 - http://twentyelevendemo.wordpress.com
I think its worth us tearing this apart and looking at the ideas they have bought in, I've only played with it briefly and its pretty nice actually. That said my initial impression was not so favorable (omg this is lame), however the more I play around with and uncover its various features the more I like it.
Design Initiative: Core Principles
Principles are important. They ensure consistent and fair decision making and they set objectives for us all to work towards. Most of all, they keep us honest.
We've been looking at establishing a set of principles that encapsulate our intentions in this initiative and give designers a strong story of Drupal. It would be great to get some feedback on the principles we have been working on.
