    Dan,
    See my email. I’ll contribute and all I ask is that the themes be search engine optimized. Anyone with questions about what that would mean can email me.

    I used wp e-commerce for 2 months and I think it’s good but lack of theme. Very useful for small business.. hope there is another theme. And how much usually people sell for a wp e-commerce theme?

    where can we get a list of the entrants? I’m looking for wp e-commerce specific themes that will allow me to use my own wp specific theme. Most of what I’ve seen so far take over the entire site, and I don’t think that is what specifically takes advantage of wp e-commerce offering their own theme support….help me with a list of resources of contestant entrants or a listing of people creating wp e-commerce themes. there is nothing in themeforest except for a theme package that applies to the overall site.
