Hi Ian,
It has been a little while since the latest "official release" of Thematic (was it March 1st?). It has since made a lot of progress, somewhat notably in the field of localisation (current 0.9 package still has an non-localised string, and less languages available). This makes me think that it would be interesting to release a new version of the Thematic package, without calling it v1.0, but perhaps v0.9.1? Or maybe v0.10? What do you think?
