Howdy,
Not to interfere with the topic of the original thread, I am starting a
new thread here.

If the availability of a good Drupal 6 theme makes it that much easier
to upgrade, then I would not mind undertaking doing a new theme for
Haiku. This may actually be a good thing in preparation for the upcoming
releases (maybe not alpha, but perhaps beta and final R1).
I have been doing quite a bit of Drupal development lately (mainly with
D6), so this is something that I think I can tackle and would actually
enjoy doing (much more than tweaking the existing theme which, being
based on a D4 theme, lacks support for a lot of theme-related features
Drupal has added in their latest releases).
Cheers,
Jorge
