Hello,
I have packaged a port of Notepad++'s port of Textmate's Vibrant Ink theme. I've posted it at Google Code:
Cool.
Just a few questions / ideas:
- include a README in the tarball/zip archive to give some general
information about the contents
- add a screenshot on the project page to easily show the potential
users how it looks like
- are you sure the MIT license is applicable, you stated you ported it
from Notepad++'s theme which is based on Textmate's one. There might be problems because Textmate is non-free AFAIK and Notepad++ is probably licenced as GPLv2 (didn't check it). Though this doesn't necessarily mean the themes are licenced as well under these licences. Just check it.
Once the licence issue is solved, I'll add it to the http://www.geany.org/Download/Extras page.
Regards, Enrico

Excellent advice.
License Issue: I've emailed the author of the original Vibrant Ink theme for Textmate and asked him for advice regarding the licensing of his theme as well as the author of the port to Notepad++. I've temporarily licensed it under the Artistic License/GPL because that seems the most compatible with the GNU Free License that the port is licensed under.
Screenshot: I've added a screenshot to the Project Home page.
Readme: I'll work on that and have that included in the tarball soon.
Thanks again Enrico. I apologize for hi-jacking another thread - I'm new to mailing lists, so I don't exactly have the etiquette yet. I'll keep my page updated and I can update the list as well. I welcome any further advice.
Regards, Jason
