I have had this itch to change the theme I'm using for CMSReport.com.  I decided to scratch that itch.  I'm currently playing with some freely available themes out there for the CMS I'm currently using (Drupal).  The theme in use at CMS Report this week is LiteJazz by RoopleTheme.

Some of the new features included in the latest release of OpenEdit, version 5.622 include:

• New job/issue tracking project form
• Validating and Captcha
• Improved interface (via ajax use) for adding menu's items inline and image archive
