[Tara Athan]

Your suggestion about the three templates seems reasonable. I have 
created a new Joomla template and it is very time-consuming, while if 
you are not too particular about having a unique look, there are lots of 
templates out there.

When modifying a template, View Source is your friend - I haven't found 
any better way to figure out what the Joomla styles are.

I would support migrating the whole contents and then rearranging, with 
some items going to archive, some to new categories, some moved to the 
wiki, etc. Otherwise, I think we may lose some things that we would like 
to keep.
