Yes, I'd like to work with Giacomo. I guess we'll work the contacting
each other bit offline.

I agree about the standalone view of the theme should have some sample
HTML tags & mockup content. It's really hard to make the theme-CSS if
there is no content on the theme.html file. Also, coming from a
non-English speaking country, I suggest some international version of
lorem ipsum, which is great for catching non-unicode, standard browser
font-families...

On it, doing it.

 I'm up for it. I'll need some orientation on how to best do the
testing, and most likely I'll need to be pointed to the right direction
as to what the best practice for certain things might be, but I'm up for
it.
