New contributed theme: Democratica

In my personal quest to counter the argument that Drupal has no good themes, here is another well designed one by Chris Messina (a.k.a. FactoryJoe), who brought us the SpreadFirefox theme too.

This theme was originally made for JohnKerry.com, and later incorporated in the CivicSpace distribution of Drupal.

The theme has been released for 4.5, and is also compatible with pre-4.6 CVS. It requires the PHPTemplate theme engine.

As with the SpreadFireFox, my work on this theme was just to update the tpl.php files to get them to work with 4.5 and CVS.

Here is the project page for the Democratica theme. A tarball for 4.5. and another for 4.6 should be available shortly (perhaps overnight).
