Henrik, would Daniel's workload be able to accomodate 2 extra themes,
or even 3 if LegacyHuman is taken as not being an extra theme, but
necessary for continuuity, provided they were ready to package
tonight? - If we use the current vote we see that Silicon, DapperDrake
and IndustrialInspirate are the next three that would go in. I don't
think the weighting is correct for 5 themes as a result but it is all
we have got so I think we have to use it. What to others think?

Using these three also restores Mark's original aim of having a number
of 'internally' developed themes.

I feel strongly that we still have time to put this misunderstanding
right with a minimum of fuss - we just need some Art-Team leader to
say 'Do it' or 'No, we can't (with good, brief supporting reasons) -
do we have an art-team leader?
