Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] XML Themes

[Jason C. <cam...@xp...>]

I'm working on the new block code but if we're changing the theme system, 
which I and others things we should, I don't want to commit stuff to CVS 
that will need to be recoded for the new theme system.  

I think we need to get on IRC and have a developers meeting soon to decide 
what we want to get done with the project before anything else gets added 
to the core code base.

We as the developers need to decide what we want to do with the database 
first and then work from there.  I've heard talk about changing the 
structure of the tables and what not, if thats going to happen and be in 
the core code I say we have a meeting SOON and decide on it and get that 
done first, when thats completed we can add/modify other parts of the 
system around the new model and maybe get a modular system started.

I don't want to write or commit code that will need to be rewritten if the 
whole system changes.  Anyone else feel this way?
