I'm a newb trying to find out what the status of the zen base template is for drupal 6.x. Also, are there any little tasks I can do to help get zen for 6.x ready? I'm not a drupal pro but am a developer and I may be able to help out a little on weekends.

After walkah's presentation on Drupal 6 Themeing, I ported and contributed a theme to drupal.org. Some really great information that inspired me to contribute a new theme. I did a relatively detailed write up in the showcase forums.

Thanks James, for the great presentation and answering the question we all had.

Chris Messina's (aka Factory Joe) review of drupal 6 is a big contribution to drupal usability. I have highlighted about 50 actionable issues that have been raised and/or discussed through this review. Most of them are trivial changes for drupal 6, but are key usability improvements. Many are simply improving the help text. Some are larger tasks that require more work and changes and should probably wait for drupal 7.
