Site Development - t.o news
Posted by TechNoir on 10th February 2000 @ 04:54 PM PST
We've already received numerous ideas about what we should do with themes.org, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics. As always we'd appreciate any suggestions or queries people have about the site (since your the ones using it every day), so if there's anything you'd like to see added or improved on themes.org, let us know.

On a fairly similar note, we're looking for more developers for the site. Ideally, if you'd like to help out, you should be fairly knowledgable of both PHP and MySQL, although if you already know Perl or another similar language, PHP isn't too difficult to pick up. Other concepts which you'll find useful to understand include XML, LDAP and CVS. If your interested you can contact either myself, the development group or join us on irc.openprojects.net in the #themes.org channel.

Of course, even if your not of a programming nature, you can help out in a variety of other ways. Check our volunteer page for more details.
