Just playing devil's advocate here...
As we go down the road and more people in the community develop
frontend and backend themes (which may eventually begin to happen as
more people catch on to the theming feature), how do we determine what
gets included in the trunk? Do we include every theme that is
developed? Do we include only include a certain number? In you look
at a project like Wordpress for example, there are literally thousands
of free and commercial themes that have been developed, but Wordpress
only comes with 2 basic themes OOTB.
Just something to think about.

in the cleanup. No reason to flush the Bluelight theme.

No! Definitely not. Bluelight is quite different from BizznessTime/
SmoothFeather.
Let's not get lost in all this... the ONLY reason there was even a
discussion about deprecating/removing themes is because the
BizznessTime theme was added instead of updating the SmoothFeather
theme, even though it is really just a big update to the
SmoothFeather
theme and so represents a replacement for it.

Should we do the same for Bluelight?

Yeah, I can get behind that for sure. Btw, Jacques, I think we
keep
the Flat Grey forever - no reason to deprecate that one - just
the
ones that aren't going to be maintained - of which the original
Smooth
Feather now stands out.
Anyways, if everyone's cool with that - then we can make a page
in
Confluence and keep everything there - starting with moving
Smooth
Feather there.
Cheers,

I like the idea of moving deprecated themes to a web page.

For several reason, I really appreciate sometimes to have the
good
old
theme (Flat Grey) at hand.
We could keep Flat Grey and the best known at the moment
(obviously
BiznessTime at the moment).
The others would stay at http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/yhQ
This would be an easy deprecation policy

From: "Adrian Crum" <adri...@hlmksw.com>
There were differing opinions about them. I suggested having
only
one
theme in OFBiz, and the other themes could be provided outside
the
project - by theme providers.
David thought it would be good to have several themes in the
project
in order to demonstrate the theme idea.
From my perspective, having more than one theme in the project
means
that much more code that has to be maintained.
As far as I know, no "theme deprecation" plan has been
discussed.

I may have missed this in general, but what is the plan to
deprecate
themes when people aren't supporting them any longer? We've
already
got one that we want to do this to - and there will surely be
others
as we're trying to work out these backend interfaces.
Anyways,
my
vote would be community votes and just removing them - but
I'd
love
to hear what the original intention was and other good ideas
out
there.
