ThemesWiki:About

From ThemesWiki

ThemesWiki.org is a new website designed to provide users with comprehensive, free guides for designing Web Themes and Templates. Launched in March 2008, the Wiki will largely be driven and populated by content supplied and edited by its users.

ThemesWiki.org has been developed using the open source MediaWiki software package and is supported by UK Publisher Packt. This site has initially been populated using chapters from Packt books.

“ThemesWiki.org promises to fill a much needed gap in the theming and templating community” said Ric Shreves, author of the Packt book, Drupal 5 Themes. “It is a source of information that cuts across systems and provides designers and developers a place to share ideas and approaches outside of the walled gardens of individual project sites.” Shreves, a partner in Water & Stone, an open source web development company, went on to say that “Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, Plone, Modx — whatever — none of the clients really care and frankly it matters less and less as time goes by. What we should be concerned with is the end result, and that is where this site comes in."

The Wiki is currently maintained and moderated by a small group of administrators who are working on keeping the Wiki up-to-date and relevant for its users.
