Roughly how long is there to prepare a new default theme? Should we invite submissions? An open competition (with a small footer link the only prize)? And if so are there any guidelines for what is required?
My own opinion fwiw is that responsive would be favoured, but I wouldn't want to include lot of third party css and I wouldn't want to include any scripts. It should be without its own plugin, just a theme. We should retain the sidebar and tagline components but the contents of the sidebar, tagline and sample page could be updated, including a link to a sample image or two to brighten things up.
We could put a couple of these images on g-s.info:

for use either in the theme or in the sample content.
I say yes to inviting submissions. I'll be glad jump on board to help develop a new default theme. I would also suggest maybe creating a theme that's pre packaged with most useful plugins maybe, something SEO friendly and universal.
