Join us for a theming sprint!

October 11 and 12, just following the 2008 Washington DC conference! Join us also on #plonetheme on the 11th and 12th to participate remotely.

Day 1: Report-Out

Apologies for missing names here -- will fill in tomorrow!

Official Task List:

http://www.openplans.org/projects/ootb-plone-themes/tasks-for-the-conference

Suggested things that might happen:

• Workshops on theming for Plone 3.0 (caring and sharing)
• Skinning of 3.0 themes
• Brainstorming / prototyping new technologies that might help the theming story
• Documentation creation and cleanup for the theming area
• Development of a themes.plone.org website that will allow us to test a 3.0 theme in real time.
• Development on gloworm (Eric Steele)
• Things I'd like to work on in preparation for an actual release:
  * viewlet manager overrides so I can get rid of the monkeypatch
  * writing some new KSS/Javascript to pull more information out of the page
  * browser compatability issues
  * general UI primping and usability preening
  * brainstorming about what else it should do
  * documentation
  
  Don't worry that you don't know what you're doing, because I sure as hell don't. I'm continuously amazed that this thing works half as well as it does.
• Work on helping to plan the future of Deliverance (word is, we're starting from scratch on developing a theming layer to help all themers, a divergence from the current state of Deliverance)
• Write an automated testing script for OOTB themes, or develop more tests for themes in general.
• Start work on videos for theming. Possible resource: http://css-tricks.com/videos/css-tricks-video-25.php
• And much, much more... Feel free to make suggestions!
