Learning Chameleon
Ben Tiedt, one of the developers working on the new Community Server 3.0 skinning engine ("Chameleon"), has been cluing us in on some of the details of how the new functionality works for the past week or so. From what I can see, this is going to be a huge change, and almost certainly a good one. For anyone who does any sort of CS skinning, I highly recommend checking it out.
Personally, I've been waiting for the details of the new skinning engine to arrive before I start work on a new blog skin (actually, with Chameleon's help, I may go straight for the complete site skin, but we'll see how much time I've got). I figure that the best way to get familiar with the new system is to try putting it to work. Looks like it's about time to get some new designs in motion...
