A few things about PUG themes that I determined during my stint as maintainer. The themes must be all inclusive, meaning anyone with a Pentax has to be able to participate. This means the themes should be geared to the lowest common denominator Pentax P&S camera being able to complete the theme. It means no special equipment needed. This means themes such as "Macro" are out. The PUG has a "family values" mandate, so no nudes are allowed. I pushed this envelope in a couple of galleries, and got some pretty nasty hate mail for my trouble. For myself, I would be loath to make a theme out of a country's issues, as it could turn awfully political, with the ensuing debate (flames) spilling over onto the PDML. William Robb
