We've been working with Heyula on developing some new templates for Publisher. But we need more designers to work together on this. Publisher is an excellent module, with a lot of potential to become even better, but we need the help from more designers, but so far, except for Heyula, we didn't get much reaction from the designers
the problem is not only in the templates, we need to adjust the feautures, for example we need to choose from the settings the blog mode so the blog templates will be automatically loaded : authors articles, tags, jquery...etc
currently publisher is using 2% of its power. I think we need a developer to fix the code, then a designer to work on the templates. a real workshop.
