you mean different colored soap bars? that would work quite nicely.

Yes, that is what I mean. In the meantime, there would be a separate wiki page where we would toss the un-SOAPed themes until we can wade through them. But, as I said before, there is much more to this as well regarding the actual guidelines, method for delivery, and other items, which is why I think it will be a good topic to bring up at DevCon-W.

Just to let everyone know I'm still planning on getting the wiki organized. After looking at some of the other WPS galleries, I noticed that most have the themes organized by the Author, and I think this would work really well and help to distinguish the wiki from rockbox-themes.org. Not to cut down on rockbox-themes, but I think that it would be an advantage to have two styles of organization, alphabetical (on rockbox-themes) and by author (the wiki). I think that I would organize the themes by author only if there is more than one theme by the author, and then Alphabetically.
So the gallery would look like this:
TOC
>only links to Author's
>links to themenames if only one submission
Authors - sorted alphabetically, real name preferred over alias (i.e. Gary Light instead of EvilG123 or Chris Banes instead of Senab) of course, this would be left to the decision of the author themeselves.
Authors with 1 submission - themes sorted by theme title alphabetically.
Any thoughts? I think this would work really nicely and would really cleanup the wiki. It would also give users a chance to view each author's work together, just to see what else they've done. I also had an idea that after the wiki was organized this way, we could easily make author's themepacks (like a Senab themepack, a PHK themepack etc.) which would be really cool.

Just to elaborate a bit more on my previous idea about organizing by author, I started to think about what to do with the large amount of modified WPS's (remixes as I call them). I think a good way to go about it would be to put them next to their originals, and quoting the remixer. Or maybe I could add a link inside each remixed WPS like this
WPS description etc.
Remixed by: Link to Remix (Author's Name)
I just thought of the second idea as I was typing (I actually prefer it), it would help keep each author's works whether original or remix together.

Since there isn't much activity in this thread, I decided to spike some interest by implementing my suggested changes thus far; I've made some major modifications to the iPod 5G WPS gallery so please check it out.
I'd say that the layout is a good 70% done, there are still some changes to be made with regard to formatting (making things clearer), but I thought I'd get the ball rolling on this.
A couple of things you may be wondering, yes I did save a copy of the original, yes all the WPS's that were there before are still there.
I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to leave any feedback
