[Phpwebsite-developers] Welcome!

[Matt M. <mcn...@ap...>]

Very briefly I want to thank all the new developers. I am really excited
about all the ideas people have to make phpwebsite better. I will be
locked
into rewriting the calendar for a while, but I'll try to comment on
submissions
and ideas.

I like the idea of the being able to move the boxes around. Hopefully
the
extra theme functions we added was a step in the correct direction of
making theme creation more dynamic. Ultimately, Brian and I talked about
a much more robust theme and design engine. The user should be able to
create
a site on the fly with corner graphics, colors, positioning, whatever.
You
folks are definitely on the right track. The problem that I have run
into
in thinking about this issue is how to code efficiently. What we code
should have
the ability to be added on to and not scrapped when the next theme
routine
comes along. I don't have the answers yet but at least we don't have to
think
about this issue alone =) In any case, once I get done here, I look
forward
to joining you in the coding.

Thanks,
