I had hoped, but I suppose not really. you have no reason to listen to my comments other than entertainment and user feedback. After all, what do I know about running a web site?
(That said, feel free to ignore me from this line down)
It's just that it kind of annoys me to see people repeat work that has already been done and already works. It's like no one person sat down and made litestep as it is today; instead, it's the combination of many different pieces of work. There are only duplicate parts where someone saw something was lacking and had to make their own parts.
If you're trying to make the litestep site for everyone, why expect to have to make everything from scratch for yourself? If parts already exist, if collections are already in existence, why not use them?
Just my thoughts on how many LS sites are handling things... like ls.com and lsthemes.com and here. You’re all very talented people, but if you all didn't make a modules section (and a themes section and a help section and a screenshot section) of your very own, things may be better off. granted that would lead to some venerability, placing all the eggs in one basket and whatnot, but it seems like if all the eggs are in the same basket, it's a lot easier than carrying three baskets.
I understand that it's nearly impossible to share stuff across sites, but you have to admit, it would be cool to have, say, one SS archive shared across 3 sites.
