themes_wikiYou can learn how to design Web themes and templates with recently launched ThemesWiki.org. The wiki’s goal is to create a comprehensive destination that will make the design process easier with a repository of free guides.Regardless of the application utilized (Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, Plone, Modx, etc.), you will find tons of tutorials in a single location.

The Website was initially launched featuring tutorials covering over 20 Content Management Systems. However, the site’s creators (Packt) saw a greater need for an exhaustive free resource for the theming community.

Of course, like any wiki, the success of this Website will be determined by level of user-generated content and interaction.

According to Ric Shreves, author of the Packt book, Drupal 5 Themes,
“ThemesWiki.org promises to fill a much needed gap in the theming and templating community.”

The team behind this new wiki also run a Website on free installation tutorials, InstallationWiki.org, and the annual Open Source CMS Award that has a total prize package of $20,000 to be divided among several winning projects.

Open source MediaWiki are the bones behind the Website.

We encourage you to check out Themes Wiki and get involved.
