Description
Just curious, how far off are you from an official release of this theme, even if a beta or RC?
We use this theme in one of the chapters of the O'Reilly book. But it'd be nice to be able to point out something more specific than "6.x-1.x-dev on $date." :)

Angie, I'm glad you picked this theme. Can you give us some more info about where you are to use this in the book?
Making an official release is something I would like but I'm sure it needs a lot of testing. I am currently reworking this theme and putting together a beta. After that, I'd love to see it tested by the community so it can make its way to be an official 1.0.
Hopefully the beta release is expected this week.

Sure!
The book is about how to build Drupal sites with contributed modules. Each chapter has a fake client with a different website they need to be built, and then the rest of the chapter talks about what modules to use and how to do it. In order to visually separate one chapter from another, and also to showcase some of the variety of themes available for Drupal, we choose a different theme for each fake client site.
Ubiquity is the theme we selected for the photo gallery chapter, so there are screenshots of it being used at various steps in the hands-on parts. It will also be distributed with the book's source code.
To help readers out, we want to compile an appendix of all the various modules and themes used in the book, along with their versions so that if information goes out of date (which it's guaranteed to do ;)), they can get back to the versions that were covered in the book. So even a beta release is fine for our purposes, although of course we'd all love to see this great theme hit 1.0! :)

I put the theme up at http://d-theme.com/ubiquity despite the dev status because the theme is XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. The only things I can see wrong are the lack of left and right margins on text and the limited height of the footer. The theme should then go out of dev.

Checking for theme support as an initial step of the Dealing with abandoned projects process.
