Why not pre-populate STARTERKIT with all the necessary .css and .php files rather than telling the user to move those in from the zen folder. This would simplify the README and make it easier to get started fast with creating a subtheme.

I'd also recommend renaming STARTERKIT to zen_subtheme which lazy developers (like me) could just leave as is without having to change theme name everywhere.

Also a note that the README refers to a STARTERKIT.css file which I didn't find in the 6.x-1.0 distribution.

Thanks for considering.

Yep, that's the approach I'm taking in Zen 6.x-2.x. :-) CSS files are now located in the STARTERKIT. But template files remain in zen/templates until you want to override them.

Also a note that the README refers to a STARTERKIT.css file which I didn't find in the 6.x-1.0 distribution.

Actually, the README refers to an instance of "STARTERKIT.css" text found in the STARTERKIT.info file.
