Re: My Custom Templates

Thanks, I appreciate the comments.  I'm not a designer and am looking 
for somebody with experience in that field to help me hone these pages. 
 I would actually love to start again from scratch with a really kick 
ass design; if I had one.
Another thought I've been tossing around in my head is making an AJAX (I 
still hate that word) approach where everything loads dynamically with a 
standard interface.  Possible like the way calender applications look: 
directories on the left, log list on the top right and markup, diffs and 
annotations on the bottom right. But again it comes down to the need of 
a designer to toss me some cool mocks.
If you guys know of anybody, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jeremy
