I've done a lot of partial styles, and really don't have any need to keep a record so while I could point you in the direction of some sites, I couldn't actually tell you exactly what I did there. Often it doesn't look like much, or isn't visible to non-staff and so it doesn't always have the WOW factor that a lot of people want with their modifications. The style on my site, while starting life as a commercial style, is heavily modified to meet my requirements. That is the same philsophy that I have regardless of what site I am working on. It must work, and work exactly as planned. As long as it does that, and the code is cross-browser and XHTML valid, then I am prefectly happy.
Indeed, design is subjective. But that's only when they have some level of expertise. And i'm not saying Kerry-Anne has none, but I have seen nothing to indicate she's a good design, whatsoever. And all I have to judge it on is her site which doesn't use a stock skin.
Indeed, there is more to being staff than one role, but you have clearly categorised people into a team, when they would be better off in another.
Take a look at my site sometime, Dean, Kerry-Anne has been responsible for a lot of it so far. That will give you a better idea of what she is REALLY capable of. Just because she doesn't use a lot of things on her site, doesn't mean she is not capable of it.
As far as what people need to be on what team, like I said before, their abilities as coders or designers only plays a small part in any one decision as to the team they were picked for.
I'm the guy that started the 'code-out' thread. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm sucking up. What a childish view. As for 'flaming', that's pretty much what all these threads have been about, no matter how people have tried to flower them up and put perfume on them.
None of these threads were made for boasting hambil, sorry. And my view was not childish at all. If it was, then i can name about 5 other people who you may consider childish.

Let's leave the flaming out of this thread, please, from everybody.
I'm not sure why they should have to defend their choices at all, since the proof will be in the result. But, as for Kerry-Ann I can only speculate that a design team needs many skills, not just cracker-jack artists. There is css, layout, html, templates, and even some code. Kerry has written hacks and can clearly code and handle css and html/templates.
Again, a team needs to be diverse, not just a bunch of people with the same talents, or even the same level or talent.
The ability to design should be determined more by the design, rather than how the design is coded on a website. If you ask someone to design you a building or something, they will design it. However, it is not always their job to build it. Yet, they are still the designer. This isn't different for web designers. Which is why you always see designers asking for people to code their layouts or sell things un coded.

Didn't you say you were done with this thread? It's like you enjoy spamming these threads....
ANYWAY
@Paul ~ I just thought it would be ironic if the design team did not.
@Staff Period ~ I see how excited you guys are to add input to this thread to defend your current status and how excited you are to pick what flavor your avatars are, but maybe you could give some attention to the thread below. You know the one asking about updates.
