So, this is what I've been working on. This obviously, is not within an actual FUDforum install just yet (coded it from scratch as just static HTML), and its not a complete page just yet. This, is just so I can gauge some feedback on the design. I kinda decided to go with a color scheme based off what we have on this particular forum right now (the black), but combining it with a sort of soft metallic look. My markup is also slightly different, and while I also used tables for the main body of the list here, I really want there to be no use of tables at all on any final product.
I know some of it is unthemed right now, but still, you can kinda get the idea of where I'm going with this.

Okay, I am making some progress, but what I feel I need, is more help.
I have set up a version control repository for the Nexus template set on Gitorious. Git, by the way, is a version control system originally meant for developing the Linux Kernel (and indeed, Linus himself is one of the main creators of it). Unlike SVN, any checkouts (here called "cloning", you'll see why) of the repository is a working copy that can be built upon in its own separate hierarchy. You can also request changes of your own to be merged into my copy of the repository.
It still needs a lot of work, I never realized our template markup is really that complicated.
What I'm aiming for is:
- Make the look a little more modern
- Clean up the markup
- Use less tables, more CSS

Ooops, darn it! Knew I forgot something, I just used the 3.0.2 as the base, its actually a little tricky to convert an SVN repository to git on Windows.
But yes, once you clone a repository, you can pull in changes from the origin, and it'll update your copy with the changes made to the master copy. And yes, the system worked.
