ThemesWiki.org is a new website designed to provide users with comprehensive, free guides for designing Web Themes and Templates. By providing tutorials for a large number of systems at a common location, this site intends to ease the web design process.It is often difficult to find a resource that is focused on providing quality, relevant and free information for designing themes and templates; specifically one that covers a wide range of applications. This is where ThemesWiki.org intends to step in. ThemesWiki.org, launched initially with tutorials covering over 20 Content Management Systems, is expected to grow into an exhaustive resource for the theming community, with users generating most of the content.
Author of the Packt book, Drupal 5 Themes, Ric Shreves, said:
"ThemesWiki.org promises to fill a much needed gap in the theming and templating community". "It is a source of information that cuts across systems and provides designers and developers a place to share ideas and approaches outside of the walled gardens of individual project sites." "Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, Plone, Modx - whatever - none of the clients really care and frankly it matters less and less as time goes by. What we should be concerned with is the end result, and that is where this site comes in", went to say Shreves, a partner in Water & Stone, an open source web development company.
ThemesWiki.org is part of an ongoing process at Packt to develop unique methods of contributing to the Open Source community. Other notable initiatives include the website on free installation tutorials,
http://www.InstallationWiki.org , and the annual Open Source CMS Award that has a total prize package of $20,000 to be divided among several winning projects.
Using the open source MediaWiki software package, has been developed ThemesWiki.org, and has initially been populated using chapters from Packt books. ThemesWiki.org is free to use and open for everyone to contribute to. With more tutorials added by users, it is expected to grow and expand over the coming months.
