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
