Hey guys,
I have been working on a MODx HTML5 Boilerplate based template for MODx Revolution. My goal is a flexible modern template to give MODx Revo a nice front-end look and feel.
DETAILS is live on GitHub!

Please test it out if you want.
It is really really beta and only the homepage is done so BE WARNED!

Key features of my template are:
- HTML5
- CSS3 styling (including CSS rounded corners and CSS drop-shadow, working in IE6+)
- Wayfinder generated menu with sub-titles
- IE6+ support
- Template Variable based jQuery slider
- Customization of the template (colors and fonts) from within the MODx Manager
- (still working on it) Fully working blog

What do you guys think?
I also have a question:
I am working in the ’install’ process.
At the moment users will need to install
Wayfinder,
SimpleSearch,
FormIt and setup quite a few
snippets,
chunks and
Template Variables.
I would love to know a way to have these add-ons, snippets, chunks and TV’s installed as a package or via installer.
Could anybody point me in the right direction on how to achieve this?
I think for MODx to become popular with less tech-minded people, easy install of templates (including chunks, snippets and TV’s) is crucial.
