Sorry I'm contributing a little late here, but I'm with a GPRS 
connection right now, so replies will be slow.

It's great to see a redesign initiative in accordance with the new color 
scheme and UI of Ubuntu. I had led the forum redesign the last time, the 
awesome theme you see on forum.ubuntu-in.info right now was done by 
Narinder. (Are you still on list, Narinder?)

I have a couple of thoughts about this initiative. Essentially, we need 
2 things: a theme for the Mediawiki installation and a theme for the 
bbpress forum installation.
- Since our bbpress custom theme, I've had requests from other Ubuntu 
communities asking for our forum theme. I realize it would have been 
much easier for them, if the theme was in a git/hg/bzr repository somewhere.
- The Mediawiki theme will need to be tested really well, because the 
wiki is our main LoCo "face". This new theme should also be in an open 
source repo somewhere.

Unfortunately, I can't help with the redesign *itself* this time, but if 
there is any related thing I can assist with, I'll be sure to chip in. 
Of course, I'll keep an eye on all the redesign threads.


Great going folks!
