    Hi Veda,
    
    Thanks for testing the skin. Yes, theme is uploaded to collective. After
    required changes will be done they will be committed. Below are some notes.

    Actually theme was created by our Skin Dump :) , but file-system structure is
    the same, so I think it is OK. As for the eggs I should admit the fact that we
    have no experience with it. While product works well we did not think about
    another way. Though I clearly understand the superiority of the buildout
    approach and we will move in that direction. I suspect this is not very
    time-consuming task however I can't say when we implement this just because I
    have no previous experience and can't estimate.

    Of course, will be changed, I suppose I could take the Jonathan's readme as a
    base?

    Thanks for this, rather strange, will be corrected.

    Not sure what we expected to do on this. I will take a closer look and try to
    realize.

    Main template was changed significantly. I realize it should be covered in
    Readme. We did it on the base of tableless layout from Plone 2.5, do not
    remember now why we did not take it from Nuplone. Template is quite well
    tested as we use it in all our custom themes.

    Why not, have to see what should be done for this.
