Is it possible for anyone to make a theme suggestion for the new Haiku site? And how is it possible for us to do so? Do we need to download Drupal ourselves and make a theme, or is access to the site something that can be granted to people wanting to try making a theme?
Everybody can help. You will have to install Drupal (4.7.3) on your own machine, though. I hope you understand that we can't give everyone shell access to our server. You can use XAMPP for a personal quick-start web-server: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html It's available for all major platforms and it's an unpack-n-go install. It works out of the box.
Here is a quick-start guide:
* download Drupal from http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/drupal-4.7.3.tar.gz
* extract it into the htdocs folder (subfolder "drupal")
* create a database called "drupal" at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ Make sure that the collation and charset for the DB are utf8 (utf8_general_ci).
* configure Drupal (DB settings and URL) in the "sites/default" folder I've attached my personal config file to this email. Just replace the settings.php file with it.
* start working on your theme in Drupal's "themes" folder
