Thanks very much for all of your work on Thematic. I'm saddened to hear it won't be supported anymore, and struggling to figure out my next move. I am a novice web developer at best, who, 4 years ago, decided to create my own theme. I read the book "Build Your Own Wicked Wordpress Themes", which described how to use Thematic to build a theme. I described my efforts here. I know my theme is very simple and crude to you experts. It would be nice if the Thematic developers could recommend a way forward, but I guess there aren't many like me who need this. I suppose what I must do next is start over on a new theme with some other framework that is still being supported.
