# Tersus
An achingly simple theme without all the usual cruft.
Specifically created for use with the [Newton Personal Data Sharing](http://npds.free.fr/) web server.
## About
Tersus is an exercise in publishing template minimalism, based on the orginal [Tersus for Wordpress](http://github.com/splorp/tersus/) theme.
Why create yet another theme? As clean and stripped down as some themes are, we wanted to prune things a bit further.
Tersus was originally named Simplicity — a term that described exactly what the project was all about. However, that was prior to the discovery of a [WordPress](http://wordpress.org/) theme already using that very name. After a brief discussion, several latin terms were bandied about as replacements. Tersus (which means ‘clean, neat, or cleansed’) seemed to fit the bill rather nicely … and here we are.
Keep track of Tersus development on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/tersustheme).
## Features
+ HTML5 structure and compliance
+ CSS that has been reset and built from the ground up
+ Non-semantic, presentational markup has been dispatched
+ Responsive, adaptive layout for small screens
+ Clean, valid, and awesome
## Credits
The Tersus project is brought to you by [Chris Harrison](http://cdharrison.com/), [Grant Hutchinson](http://splorp.me/), [Dan Rubin](http://danielrubin.org/), and [Andy van der Raadt](http://nicemodernist.com/).
Lovely chaps, all of them.
The groundwork for Tersus was based on the [Starkers](http://starkerstheme.com/) theme created by the affable [Elliot Jay Stocks](http://elliotjaystocks.com/).
We’d also like to give some props to the fine individuals and handy resources which have made the development of Tersus much more enjoyable.
