Develop a new theme for CiviCRM based on some of the design and usability principles of Joomla!. This will involve working with Smarty templates (a PHP templating engine), CSS, HTML, and some light graphic design.

Skills needed

Strong web design skills (HTML, CSS, etc.) Strong PHP skills (experience using Smarty helps a lot). Some graphic design ability. Strong ability to work with people from different teams.

Work Product

A complete suite of extensions available for download on joomlacode.org and/or the civicrm source forge.
