Hello, I liked the idea of theme saving and currently work on the proposal for it. Also, I've found Matt's enhancement of installing a theme from the 3rd party location very interesting. I think it could fit in my proposal too. I've understood the idea in general, but there are still some questions.
1. It would be great to know how are you intending to use the theme saving in TAF file in future. Are you going to create some kind of GUI for convenient theme creation based on TAF file editing? Or the main usage will be just manual editing of TAR file and its contents? 2. A question connected to the theme uploading from 3rd party location. As far as I understood, there should be a web service built-in to Roller which could process several types of requests. First one is request for list of all themes available, and another one is for providing a TAF file with a certain theme. Then the user could just point to the url where the roller is deployed, then the list of themes will be shown and after that he can choose the certain theme and TAF file with a theme will be sent as a response.
