A long, long time ago—somewhere in the era of Camino 0.9a—Jasper wrote some documentation on how Camino’s tabs (the then-new tabs, in contrast to the Mac OS X tabs Camino versions through 0.8.5 used) were constructed visually. This documentation was to be part of the Camino 0.9 website rewrite, to aid themers in creating custom appearances for tabs in the new version of Camino.
As Camino 0.9 morphed into Camino 1.0 and the website morphed from TextPattern back to standard HTML+PHP, the tab theme documentation got lost. It was uploaded to the new website when we released Camino 1.0, but nothing ever linked to it. As Sam and I were finishing up migrating content from the 1.0 website to the 1.5 website, I stumbled upon the tab theme documentation again. We moved it to the Camino Wiki, but out-of-date docs aren’t very useful. 
I’m happy to announce, however, that the tab theme documentation is now up-to-date for Camino 1.5 and available for your viewing and theming pleasure at http://wiki.caminobrowser.org/Development:Third-Party_Tab_Themes. I hope all our theme developers find the documentation useful, and we’ll make sure to keep it up-to-date with future releases of Camino.

Troubleshoot Camino 1.2 is now available, featuring Dutch, French, German, and Portuguese (Brazilian) localizations in addition to the original English. Thanks to the translators (listed in the Readme) for their effort and testing (and for catching one very embarrassing internationalization bug)! If you’re interested in providing a translation in your language, see the “Localizing Troubleshoot Camino.rtf” file inside the package for instructions.
The other new feature in version 1.2, as mentioned a few weeks ago, is validation of the Camino application; Troubleshoot Camino will no longer attempt to “launch Chess with a fresh profile” or to launch old Camino versions that don’t support the underlying fresh profile mechanism.
Happy troubleshooting!

Catherine has it right; writing is hard. I can’t count the number of important things I’ve wanted to write that are sitting unfinished in the drafts here (actually, I can; it’s six).
When did it become so hard to write something meaningful? Once-upon-a-time we turned out thirty-to-forty pages of analysis and synthesis in forty-eight hours; now I can’t write three coherent paragraphs in two hours?
Writing is hard.
