I recently discovered the Thesis theme framework for Wordpress and was inspired to start a similar project for Drupal. I have recoded this completely from scratch (Thesis is a commercial product), but I have already been using Blueprint CSS in many projects recently so I decided to use this as a starting point for the first version. I want to move to more semantic markup in time, but Blueprint is a good starting point.
The basic elements are in place now and the theme is well under way. I have to go back and make a few corrections to some of the work I did at the start, but on the whole I think it's looking good. I have the page template pretty much complete, and the css is well underway for the core Drupal elements. Once I'm happy with the basic theme I will work on making it much more generic and customisable.
With excellent projects like Zen for Drupal, do we really need another CSS framework? Possibly not, but the Thesis Wordpress theme offers a simple professional blog layout, and is very easy to customise. I want a similar starting point for Drupal blogs.
Thesis/Discourse Theme
Any progress on this - just searched Drupal.org but did not find anything.
I have been taking a look at the Blueprint and 960 frameworks as well - interesting ideas in there.
Not on d.o
I haven't cleaned up the code enough to submit to D.o yet. I can publish the theme as work in progress here if there's interest.
