The Strict Slash theme
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/15/033226

    Like I wrote in "Upcoming XHTML/Accessibility Slash theme" I'm working     on a slash theme with the goal of complying with the W3C's Web Content     Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. It's far from complete, but I think that     it has reached a point where I want to hear comments from others and     see if someone is interesting in contributing patches to fix bugs /     implement new features. It requires latest slash cvs and it's available     from anonymous read-only cvs: cvs -d     :pserver:anonymous@strict.openflows.org:/var/lib/c vs loginNo password,     just press Enter. cvs -d
    :pserver:anonymous@strict.openflows.org:/var/lib/c vs co strict It's     hosted by Openflows, who has been supporting the development of this     theme.

How does index.shtml pick up currentqid for polls? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/14/2254228

    In the process of upgrading from R_2_3_0_46 to the current snapshot of     Slash, my poll appears to have died. No matter what currentqid gets set     to, or how many polls I delete or add, poll qid 6 (which now doesn't     exist) is always the poll that gets written to index.shtml. Also, when     I go to a poll that *does* exist
    (http://www.scylla.org/pollBooth.pl?qid=1), none of the questions are     listed, just the title. To make sure I have a clean slate, I have     created a whole new /usr/local/slash/site directory, dumped and     recreated the auto_poll, pollanswers, pollquestions, and pollvoters     tables, and reinstalled slash. The only thing that's the same is     database and the directory that slash was installed to. So, my question     is how does index.shtml get the value it's suppossed to use? I looked     in index.pl and it appears to use pollbooth('_currentqid', 1) to write     the value. And, of course, I need to hunt down the function that lists     the poll questions in pollbooth.pl (to find out why they aren't     displayed on vote windows). I've spent a lot of time trying to hunt     down functions in .pm files but now I'm giving up and hoping I can find     someone who "just knows". So, anyone just know or have someplace I can     go for detailed specs on the poll plugin?
