Hi all - well, it looks like since we quietly re-opened our doors to memberships things are picking up. Slowly at first, and I'm sure it'll continue like that for a while, but we didn't expect a massive rush. A big thank you to those who have joined as a way of supporting our projects - it really helps to reassure us that going GPL was the right decision.
Older members who paid to download themes will also find that they have had their memberships updated and extended until next year. That's a thank you for your early support.
The key thing now is to get the word out there! If you like our themes, give them good star ratings on the WordPress.org repository, but also encourage people to join. We reckon we can build a nice new theme variation for every 100 new users, and that we can create a whole new theme framework for every 500 users. That's a lot of people, but it's certainly possible. If people contribute through code then perhaps this can be brought down somewhat.
Either way, we're now looking forward to creating a real and helpful community here. Let's get going!
Dave
