Thanks for the update David, makes sense. 

Is there a changelog with release notes? 

For example, I am working with pakreport.org and want to keep very close to ushahidi "edge" -- but need a checklist to go through before I do a `git pull upstream master` -- I suppose could just read the commits a little closer :)

Hi Guys,
The theming functionality in 2.0b10 has changed and I apologize for not sending this email as soon as the code went up - especially if your themes are not showing up anymore. We're now giving themes access to php files too so that you can modify the structure of the public facing website.

This is how the themes directory looks like now:

- themes
    - default
        + css
        + images
        + views
        readme.txt
    + terra

The default theme should not be deleted as every other theme in reality extends the default. This means that you can create a new theme that contains only a css file or a header ... I'm sure you get the idea.

Also, in order for your theme to appear in the admins/addons section, you'll need to have a readme.txt. The readme.txt should contain the following information... each tag is self explanatory.

Theme Name: My Theme
Description: This is a great theme for my map
Demo: http://facebook.com/ushahidi/
Version: 3.0
Author: Mark Zuckerberg
Author Email: thezuck@...

You can look to http://github.com/ushahidi/Ushahidi_Web/blob/2.0/themes/terra/readme.txt for an example of how to set it up.

Regards,

David.
