I think I am mixing up conversations. To clarify, if we do a WordPress
multi-site, The Q&A plug-in will work perfect without any modification. For
themes, I am sure different sites can have different themes if they need
them.That would be odd if all sites had to share the same theme.
I will still have to make a theme for Krita and KDE, but that will be the
case regardless of what direction we go.
