The phpLynx script has now gone through just about as much testing it needs to now and with over 500 users of the free version we are just about to officially launch it together with the full versions. We're looking for talented designers to take up the challenge of designing templates for the Lynx script, with the limitation of smarty reliance to about 10% designing should be a snip for anyone with a fair level of knowledge. As the owner, I'd be happy to discuss even paying for some good templates and of course anyone is free to sell their designs or tout for business on our forum.
I haven't got anything to tell you that I cant post here rlineker, the compete phpLynx versions are all but done now and we will be officially launching within weeks. A number of requests have already been made for templates. My way of thinking is that if a designer can make excellent ones like phpld, (Some really nice ones out there) and this is smarty based then the phpLynx script should pose less of a challenge as it is far less smarty reliant. The Lynx script won't be an overnight thing, we aren't going anywhere, its onwards and upwards, as what happened with phpld and other sites it will only be a matter of time before people twig on that even if we only get say 2000 users (based on what we already have pre-release) that's a good few potential customers. Lots of us, me included don't have the ability to do templates, and as I said, I'd be happy to pay someone to make a design of my choosing, the same is with lots of the users. If you wouldnt mind I'd rather post you a p.m over at the phpLynx forum so I can keep track of who is up to the challenge.
