Re: R: [Rainbowportal-devel] Regarding Theme/Layout Discussion....Additional Info

[John M <how...@ho...>]

Well in terms of being a point man with DNN I think Cory would be the best 
person.

I dont mind keeping you update with general stuff as I tend to go to their 
forums etc and stay up to date.

In terms of implementing it I think I'd need some help as VB.Net isnt one of 
my strengths.
