Very nice work John.  Crying shame that those themes are
broken on  
trunk as that would be a handy resource.  The fellas at
Typogarden  
should have a word with you.

I thought there was one - but there isn't.  I'd use a
Blogger to MT/ 
Wordpress/Textpattern converter and then convert that from
the Typo  
converters that are available.

They're a good deal less broken than they were though. If
memory
serves it should just be a matter of tweaking the layout
head and
possibly the code to render the sidebar (the trunk's way of
rendering
the sidebar worked in 2.6.0, but the old, explicit way
doesn't work
any more)

Yes, the theme page is cool.

I will have the first version of a subversion backed theme
repository up 
and accessible on Sunday evening or Monday morning.  That
will allow 
themes to keep up with trunk while still retaining copies
that work on 
older versions of Typo.  I have most of the back end testing
processes 
written, and now I'm working on the front end.  I'd be
done if it 
weren't for my day job... 

Perhaps themes that go into the new repository can appear on
your
preview page as well?
