1.1.4. Requirements for this to happen:
1.1.4.1. Graphical design to be done by...
1.1.4.1.1. I am fairly good at user interface design, but lack an artistic overview. Meaning I can not produce original visual work, but I can comment constructively on existing work.
1.1.4.1.2. The alpha can be done with an existing template, model or theme, what ever naming convention you wish to use. this frees us from the need of graphical design work, but risks the site looking very generic.
