okay, so i'll set up an instance with a new design (is there a pd.org 
ci? or can i do "what i want"? logo too?) as prosposal.

i can show you a kind of a graphical portfolio if you want me to.

don't expect me to finish the portal within the next two weeks, i'm 
currently very busy :)

making skins for plone 1.0 is very risky. the 1.0 skin architecture was 
pure hell, so migrating from a heavily changed 1.0 skin will be nearly 
impossible... 2.0 is much more modular. but as i said, most of the time, 
changes to the templates aren't necessary because nearly everything is 
changeable with css.

you can test the skin with the plone 2.0b1 tarball or just see it on 
test.plone.org. it looks like plone looked in 1.0 (because a part of 
plone is it's ui) but the code is different: accessible (wcag-aaa - 
section 508) and flexible (tableless - more ids/classes - more semantic 
code block positions, id allocation, classification).

yes, you would need to update to plone 2.0 which is currently in beta 
state - we expect it to be final in about 20-30 days.
