userpicmap2/3

Can I ask what is the difference between the database tables userpicmap2 and userpicmap3 (and possibly userpicmap1 though I couldn't find that mentioned in the code on a quick grep). userpicmap3 seems to be the one most used and there are comments in the code that suggest userpicmap2 is just there for backwards compatibility. Is that correct?

Bug 3459 - new styles categorization system (brainstorming + RFC)

So, this is the gigantic project that's been kicking around my head the last few months, because I love our themes but right now, the organization is nooooot there. And I love organization. The full bugzilla listing has all the debates and links and what not, but I'm going to add the summary of UI implementation I ran by Denise below:

quoted from Bugzilla )

Because the scope of this runs through Perl, MySQL, BML, and Javascript, today I sat down and wrote out a vague work-flow for how looking at themes by category in /customize should run, and how adding themes as an admin should run, so I have an idea of what I need to do.

very rough, mind you )

I'd really appreciate feedback on if I missed any important stuff, logistics of the UI implementation, and how exactly we should store this information in the databases. Or even on the list of categories I have so far, though there will probably be a bigger, more official RFC when things get far enough.
