I have been looking forward to looking at these themes and to the
competition. I must admit I haven't followed every thread about it as
I didn't intend to write a theme, I have just been looking forward to
seeing the work of more talented artists!

However the fact that you have to be running trunk must surely limit
the usefulness, there will not be many who can or are prepared to do
that, compared to the number running 0.22. (Hell I am still running
0.21 in production and 0.22 on a test machine!).
