Update the Bluebreeze theme to drupal 6. Bluebreeze a fairly popular base theme for drupal.

This task doesn't require any coding experience, however some experience will make this task easier. You will learn some basic code-editing skills in PHP, HTML and CSS if you don't already have these skills. You will also need to know or learn about web standards, how to validate and why it's important. You will need to learn how to use , and how to create and submit CVS patches according to drupal's patch guidelines and standards.

You will learn how the theme layer of drupal works and about theming in drupal 5 and 6. This knowledge and these skills are very important when customizing or building any site, and are a great asset for seeking paid drupal work.

The handbook has an extensive article about Converting 5.x themes to 6.x which will be your main resource. It explains all of the changes to the theme layer from drupal 5 to 6.

This task is complete when a patch is submitted to the bluebreeze issue queue that applies cleanly and is stable enough for a beta release of bluebreeze for drupal 6.

Use the resources linked to above.

Bevan will be the owner / mentor of this task and review patches answer questions and make CVS commits. Bevan is a co-maintainer of bluebreeze theme.

The description looks good to me. We haven't had a lot of success with theme tasks so far, but since this task doesn't require creating a theme from scratch it should be easier and hopefully something that can be done in a week. Go ahead and taskify it.

Great, How do I 'taskify'? Just add it to http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-drupal ?

See http://groups.drupal.org/node/7360#tasks

Create a d.o issue for the task in the appropriate queue, and then add to official google tracker. You probably won't be able to set the status to open or change the tags, but i'll do that once you've created the issues.

Okay, I created this in the Bluebreeze queue and on Google code. I think that's all.

Setting to closed and changing title so we don't get this confused with the issue used to follow the actual task itself.
