I agree with Axel. A HUG's site should be similar enough to the
official Haiku site to emphasize that the two are related, but they
should not use the exact same theme (in order to emphasize that they
are indeed separate entities). I pictured a pair of themes: one for
haiku-os.org and a variant of it for HUGs to use. This is similar to
what I have seen some game developers do in regards to player-driven
community sites. They release an "official" package for community
sites that includes themes, icons, graphics, etc. that will give these
sites a look that is distinct from the game's main website but yet
similar enough to easily associate one with the other.
