WIth regards to the things that got merged as mentioned, am I right in assuming that 'the ability to change themes using the UI has been changed', is refering to the link which I as a user hand on my control panel to select a theme with a radio button and execute the change on the specific portal? If so, has this been done due to technical/performance issues or just as Sloan didn't need it? If the latter, is it easy to take the code that allowed a user to make these changes to his/her portal and implement it?

Currently I only see an option to make these changes by selecting a theme under admin>portal theme. The other way, users can not just make changes to their workspaces, but also to clubs and commnities they administer right? A platform I am looking at can greatly benefit from this flexibility if its implementation is easy and possible.

Ah, alongside I also wanted to enquire if Weblogs can be easily added for dotLRN users now? How difficult might it be to have a situation where, users are allowed to chose from a set of themes for their personal workspace, and that particular user has his blogger wrapped within some some essential 'style' based on this theme? This way, not only can users select a theme we provide for them for their 'private-space' but the same look and feel flows into their 'pubic-space'
Is this a major thing of could some minor tweaking work here?

Venkatesh,

You have probably seen this already, but just in case you have not take a look at the new packages Simon contributed: https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=109267

That should answer to your question about adding Weblogs to .LRN
