base theme
Zen theme hacking
I'm hankering for a couple few hours of friendly Zen theme building with like-minded buddies.
Options:
Coffeee shop with loud, obnoxious people and bad internet
OR
My place where the intertubes are strong, the tea flows like the rivers of Babylon and where a 16-year old cat basks in the sun.
This can be a joint project or separate projects where we get to benefit from asking one another questions and getting feedback.
If Drupal provided a blank base starting theme in D7 would it be more important as a designer that it:

Core themes
5.x got brand new theme, which is great and Garland is great. Should 6.x include more nice themes in core? There are appearing some very popular ones, such as Bluebreeze.

whatsinitsname theme, Yet Another Base Theme
Hi there,
As you can read on my blog, I am building another solid base for a theme, WhatsinItsName. In the second blogpost I explain in more detail what that base will be about. For thowe who know microformats: this will be more if a huge microformat, making your HTML actually meaningfull!
For once, it is not about a CSS frame, but about a very solid, standardised HTML with standard, predicatble (and actually usable :) classes and IDs. It should be a frame where you can drop a huge range of CSS on top of, and see a nice theme emerge. Think about the source HTML of CSS zengarden, only more aimed at Real World Sites :)
