If there are going to be big changes with 2.7 or 2.8 regarding themeing, it honestly might be prudent to wait for that, given those changes would require redocumentation to anything done now.  That said, it would be a great gesture and good advertising for the new version, when that functionality is released, to first and absolutely review this documentation but also creating a quick screencast as well.  Maybe a downloadable starter theme as well.<div>

Farid, 
<div>I&#39;m not sure what&#39;re your actually working on here, can you explain a bit 
more?</div>
<div>We already have themes, however I know there are some difficulties with 
customising them.</div>
<div>I&#39;ve been working on making it easier to extend themes without having to 
fight the current core CSS. This should also include LTR css support, and some 
other CSS/HTML clean up.</div>
