We will more then likely be using Zabotage or a modded version to power the UTI website once I get a few more features added to it.
You seem very talented in creating layouts, would you be interested in making a couple of themes to distribute with Zabotage under the GPL license? Let me know if you are interested in this, and I will get you the specifications required by the theme engine for populating the dynamic content.

I'd love to make some themes for Zabatoge. As for the UTI website, I myself am experienced in designing XML-based content management systems in Perl and would love to help in Zabatoge development/implementation into UTI in any way possible.
Ninjas. Oh yeah.

| i think it would be kinda cool if we could add our own skins to the site... not like on the server or anything, just run off our computer's hard drive, kinda like Windows Media Player works... then we could have our own skin, but it wouldnt clutter the server, and no one else would ever even know about it! i dunno about this though... it would be pretty complex and i dont know if it would even be possible... |

Storing the users preference for themes would be better done in a database table, cookies are highly over-rated and over-used for storing information they never should by most websites.
Zabotage only stores 1 thing in your cookie, which is required for authentication yet has nothing to do with your password keeping it secure, this same thing must also reside in the database or access is forbidden. I give thanks to JBirk for the ideas in beefing up the security to the authentication system.
BTW, finally some feedback for Zabotage's progression...I will add the ability for users to choose the theme they see when logged in somewhere down the road, most likely before version 0.1. Of course, the theme must reside on the server.
