Alister:

Very interesting.

I've used Thesis on a project and very much would like to see an effort to
move forward to create a set of (semi-)standardized hooks for themes like in
Thesis so we can start working with  'theming frameworks" instead of just
themes.  But having a system that many themers adopt as opposed to just one
theme-specific hooks is key as is having it GPL (which is the "Anti-Thesis,"
no pun intended. Well, sort of.)

For the next month I'm booked solid but would be very interested in working
on something that would move forward a standard theming hook system forward.
