MW Vector : A port of MediaWiki Vector skin to Drupal Theme

This a port of the MediaWiki 'Vector' skin for MediaWiki to a Drupal Theme for Drupal 6.

This theme provides the classic wiki look & feel users expect from a wiki site.

This theme complements the many wiki modules for Drupal by themeing components in the standard MediaWiki design.
Screenshot attached.
A Zen-based subtheme : Depends on Zen 2.x

Still undergoing active development.

Hello Everyone!

Am I doing something wrong?
This is the first time I've ever done this.
I'd just like to have this theme available to the community. It needs some work, but it is a starting point.

Is there something I can do?

Thanks
- Potential Drupal contributor

Hi justingeeslin,

You're not doing anything wrong. We just have a lot of applications to review, and too few people to review them. Anyone can review your application, so you might want to request reviews from interested people, for example the Design 4 Drupal group.

Ok, thanks. That's good to know.

I'll keep shinning up this theme and get ready to make my appeal to an interested group.

I do wish people could download and use the theme now, but alas. All good things are worth waiting for, right?

Thanks for your reply!
I'll keep keeping on.

This seems like a nice theme for wiki sites.

Please take a moment to make your project page follow tips for a great project page. One example is you could link to the Zen project.

You should add a screenshot.png to your project instead of using the default Zen subtheme image.

The logo, sitename, and page tabs all overlap on my machine (see http://drupal.org/files/Selection_2201.png )

I also had trouble with the left sidebar. It seems that the primary links go into the left sidebar and then blocks configured to show there will show below the content of the page instead of floating down the left side. (see http://drupal.org/files/Selection_2202.png )

If you don't use any theme specific JS then you can remove the js directory and the readme inside of it.

All $Id..$ tags should be removed.

Thanks for contributing a theme!

I am still developing this theme. I am posting because I don't want this ticket to close for two weeks of inactivity.

Great to hear you're still working on it. No need to worry - it's true the ticket might get moved to postponed if it goes for too long without activity. However, it's very easy to simply re-open it by changing the status drop down.

After ten weeks with a status of needs work: the applicant may be contacted by a reviewer to determine whether the application was indeed abandoned. The action taken by the reviewer should be documented in the project application issue.
