@Travis I am sorry your input was rejected back then and I am happy you still 
wish to contribute. From my point at least, I think it was because I had 
already started work on the current theme.

I have always liked the clean professional look of your site and I hope we 
can build something as fresh and as accessible for OpenNIC now.

The responsive theme you link to looks very interesting and when I get to a 
computer tonight I will be studying it, thanks.

Can you send me some information about the API you mention please, maybe off 
list?

Peter
