Finally I'm almost at a point where I can sign up for a CVS account on Drupal to submit the theme you see here (Lorem Red).
I made a few sacrifices on the way. For example, I really didn't want to stick with fixed width as I want the site to be friendly to handheld devices. These are things to work on and I can add those to the sprint backlog.
Well I almost have the base stylesheet down for the Lorem Red Drupal 6 theme you see here. A few more loose ends before the admin section styling, then off to bug fixing *cough* IE *cough* and feature add-ons.
