My theme can be previewed here: http://drupalready.com/playground/inkscape/news (login/pass: dupa/dupa)
Why exactly does drupalready.com need authentication?
Because I don't want robots to index it and I'm too lazy to configure robots.txt file. Sorry for inconvenience.

Hmm... in my opinion it looks too gimmicky. I like clean designs without images all over the place where they're not needed in my opinion (e.g. menus with different images for each item).
True, the menu looks very bad currently, I will work on it.
- iefix.css (do we have to support IE6 and IE7?)
Yes, sadly.
Would it be acceptable to fix only most outstanding bugs? Something like broken layout or unaccessible content. This is the best way to make people upgrade their browsers. Note that even youtube.com and digg.com are planning to drop support for IE6.
- some jQuery enhancements (animated main menu, smooth transitions on
hover states)
I personally would do it without any of this as it's just extra clutter to no real benefit.
I will use it very sparingly, just simple transitions which will degrade nicely if JavaScript is disabled.
- add SVG Web library (http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/)
What would you use it for? In my theme I kept it simple and didn't include any SVG content partially for support, but mainly because I couldn't really justify it. Just because Inkscape is an SVG editor doesn't mean you've got to use SVG for everything on the website... that's a thought, we could have an entirely SVG interface... :P
This library will allow us to use SVG images all over the place - in articles, wiki, forum posts, etc. Why? Because now we can :) The theme itself uses PNGs. SVG via background-image property is still too buggy in Opera and Webkit-based browsers, Firefox doesn't support it at all.
I would propose 25 August as a final deadline, after that we would choose a theme and use it as a basis for other website parts (wiki, forum, planet, m.inkscape.org).
