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.

Distant Phase, the local #E [Efnet] monkey created an image viewer called Electric Eyes 2. It does NOT use GNOME, but uses GTK+, and imlib2.

The image viewer is based on the idea of raster's Electric Eyes image viewer.
Snapshots of imlib2 and ee2 are available at the url provided above. This software is in development, this is not a stable release.

EE2 is also available in CVS under the module name "ee2"
