Drupal 6 Themes

I just realized that after the last big update of Drupal 7 themes onto the site, Drupalservers.net is now cataloging over 200 of the top Drupal themes from Drupal.org. I have been focusing my efforts on cataloging as many new Drupal 7 themes as possible. I made a big push the other night to add all of the latest Drupal 7 themes I could find, and I never even realized that I had added the 200th theme to the site and more.

It really wasn't my goal to get a CVS account on Drupal.org, but because of my mindset of contributing back to the community where I can, I felt it was best with the route I have chosen. I have been noticing some trends as my use of Drupal has grown, and one of the biggest ones is that there is not as large of an adoption rate to Drupal as Wordpress. Because of this I have decided to bring as many great looking GPL themes to Drupal as I can, as it seems that is one of the main reasons people don't use Drupal. They just can't seem to find a great looking theme for their site. My goal is to change that. Many of my themes are going to be converted Wordpress themes, but there is no better way to promote Drupal to the Wordpress community but by open source collaboration.

I have been trying to find a GPL theme to contribute to the Drupal CVS repository, as that is a requirement, but that is harder than it sounds. I have searched far and wide, and it has come to my attention that probably the best place to find GPL themes is on Wordpress.org. All of their contributed themes are licensed the same as Drupal.org, so any of the themes available there can be made into a Drupal theme and contributed. I took my first stab at this with a theme called Wedding Bells.

After attending Drupalcon San Franciso 2010 this year and sitting though some of the great Drupalcon sessions I experienced, I have gotten really excited about contributing back great things that I can do with Drupal  to the Drupal community. Recently, I have been able to do some things in the realm of custom module development for clients, but nothing for the community yet. One of these reasons is that I have yet to gain my CVS account.

I really want to help contribute some great things to the Drupal community, but there are some restrictions to what can be added to the Drupal CVS repository, and I have found this out very recently. Because of this, I have decided to contribute top Creative Commons Drupal themes on my own website until I am able to create a great GPL v2+ Drupal theme that meets Drupal.org's CVS requirements.  Check out the 2 brand new Creative Commons Drupal 6 themes I have created after the jump.
