New description:

 It's been a few years since we did this (#9015) but let's track the effort
 for the Twenty Eleven theme, hopefully making 3.2, here.

 Main goals besides what we've already done in Twenty Ten:

  * To be different from Twenty Ten, aesthetically.
  * Is a good showcase of WP's headline features.
  * Clean, fast to load, and with best-practice markup.

 Nice to have, but optional, improvements:

  * Ability to have random rotating headers. (Core improvement to custom
 header functionality, see #17240.)
  * Color and layout options.
  * More post formats. (Currently supports Asides, Links, and Galleries.)
  * CMS-style slider home page option.

 Some people will prefer the design of Twenty Ten, which is still
 excellent, over Twenty Eleven, but that's okay. We'll have something new
 next year.
