Your 2.0 template will not work with 2.2.

No, actually it will take much more time to convert it than create new style. Templates are very different in 2.0 and 2.2

Actually they are very much the same. Both are HTML files, although the 2.0.x version had the extension .tpl

The variable names have changed so they would need to updated for 2.2

The graphics for his style would already be created and the layout of the page will have be finalized. This will be a HUGE time saver.

I wouldn't think it would take more than a day to change over the templates to 2.2, they are very easy to work with. Of course that might depend on how familiar they have gotten with the CVS version all this time.

There are a number of new files and graphics that you'd have to create.
