Re: Who wants to take over txp-templates.com?
I’ve posted there. I’m a bit worried because there hasn’t been any activity there in awhile.

There’s activity, the plugin keeps getting downloaded and the script kiddies keep trying to hack in ;)
Sorry I took a break from adding templates, but I decided to wait until we had a consensus. No need in having everybody doing templates using different methods, it’s just confusing to the users.
I await Wet’s ideas.

This looks promising.

Well, one reason for my interest in the site in question is to learn how themes could work. mapu has built his templates around mcw_templates, so I think it won’t be a long step towards hgc_templates.
Had any time to think this out?

Yes. Mike West has abandoned his interest in Textpattern, so the choice is obvious. In different news, I still didn’t find the energy to actually work on a template. But it is an itch I definitely want to scratch.

Before I embarked on hcg_templates, I tried getting hold of Mike to tell him of my ideas for the plugin, but he never responded.
As for the plugin, it’s a means to an end. I don’t really care if it’s Mike West, Bert Garcia or Michael Manfre that we all rally around. But until there’s an official announcement, a direction statement by the core devs, we’ll be forever forking around.
Please look over my findings in the Theme mechanism for TxP 4.0.X thread, in it I kept a diary of sorts while I worked on a scheme. You’ll find that there needs to be small core changes done if any seamless mechanism is put into place, no plugin developer can do it alone.
Thanks for your time, and I hope that your itch is not of the seven year variety ;)
