    Lately, I've been designing more and more minimal blogs. I'm taking a hiatus from the stress of freelancing, and need something to fill my time.

    I'm looking to build a team of 3-5 people to code a great WordPress theme. Something minimal, lightweight, and extremely customizable. Something like K2 or Tarski. It'd be a good commitment in the early stages, and I'll provide all the hosting + a domain for whatever the theme would be called. Anyone interested?

    I know that beggers can't be choosers, but an expert level of knowledge in CSS and knowing your way around PHP/WordPress tags would help! bigsmile

    Oh yes! I had a great conversation with Joe today on AIM. We've decided to call the theme Wasabi. It's going to be a theme framework, very customizable, but with a beautiful (if I may say so) initial theme that I'm currently developing. I'll keep everyone posted.

    Wasabi - its root is used as a spice.

    Wasabi - Spice up your theme.


    Spiffy. Sorry couldn't resist.

    Oh, I love it!

    By the way, to everyone else that responded, I'm very grateful! Don't feel like I've neglected you. devil I just saw Joe on AIM and couldn't resist.

    I'll shoot all of you an email once I get my initial design mock-up done. Thanks guys!

    Argh... my Internet is screwing with me again. I'm downloading at 5 bytes per second on a T3 line. How's that? I have no idea.

    I'm on AIM as coolanbradley if you want, but right now Skype is not in the cards.

    My Mac has Skype, but I haven't used it in a while. It's being repaired now, and I should have it back tomorrow. I'll let you know when I can get on Skype.

    Alright, for the record, I love Media Temple. I bought the domain for Wasabi at 4:00 PM today and it resolved in an hour. Luck is on our side! wink

    GETWASABI.ORG

    I've got a simple placeholder up, and I'm setting up a WordPress devblog right now.

    About 3 months. Couldn't be happier!

    Me + (mt) = dinner

    Maybe that's a little extreme...

    I was looking for a good vector-type chunk of Wasabi, cause it's so literal, but I just went with a Japanese style thing I got from the unbelievable iconset by Meiji Taisho. Got any ideas?

    Found this california roll at dA, what are the chances the artist will let us use it?

    And I think I'm starting to hijack the forum here. In a short while I'll set something up on getwasabi.org for those still interested.

    Ah, sweetness. I got to sleep for a few hours, and when I wake up, there's already a domain!
    Let's get this thing rolling.

    I've just set up the Wasabi Forum. Please use it (or the devblog) instead of this thread to keep up on Wasabi progress. bigsmile

    I've been waiting to use this one... bakie
