The theming tutorial that someone contributed to http://drupal.org/node/352970 seems more comprehensive than the current theming information available in the Views Advanced Help. I like the page because it starts at the beginning and explains things. So, I hope you'll consider including it in the Views module official help.

The sub-page http://drupal.org/node/394994 has an example, which also seems useful.

If both are incorporated into Views, the Handbook pages can be archived.

I wrote 95% of this at the doc sprint at DCDrupalCon. I'm happy to work on it further to bring it up to official standards so it can go into Advanced Help.

If parts of it are already duplicated by more comprehensive documentation in Views already, I don't mind being told that whole sections should be cut :)

Can you share the documentation?

It's probably a little dusty at this point, especially with Views 3 out in the wings, but I'd be happy to work on it and bring it up to date if it was going to go into Advanced Help.

Please feel free - I'm trying to get Advanced help stuff updated as much as possible right now, so if you want to update it, I will do my best to review it ASAP.

Version: 6.x-2.x-dev » 6.x-3.0-alpha1

I'll keep this in my queue, but as my delayed response probably shows, I'm not sure how quickly I can get to it. With Views 3 the standard, the theming guide would have to be reviewed and rewritten all the way through. For that reason, I don't think there's any particular advantage to me doing it (as there might be if it was just a few updates or formatting it for Advanced Help).

So, if anyone else wants to take this on in the meantime, be my guest. If, once I have time, there hasn't been an update to this issue, I'll assume it's still pending and get to work on it myself.

I think it makes sense to start with the D7 documentation, yes? So updating the version number.

The way "theming" is done is being completely turned upside down for D8. Work is being done to incorporate most of Panels, Panels Everywhere and CTools into core. I think we need to see what happens with D8 before spending much time here.
