Carrington JAM (Just Add Markup) 1.1
Carrington JAM – our theme shell for designers and developers to create their own Carrington-based themes, has been updated to version 1.1. The new release has updated (hopefully clearer) documentation and a few minor changes.
Where Do I Get It?
Grab it from download link on the Themes page. Carrington JAM is also hosted on Google Code, for anyone who wants to grab it directly from SVN, get the latest code or check out recent development changes.

I hate to sound dense, but Carrington Jam is not really meant to be something like a parent theme, is it? I’m not meant to create a child theme that draws on this, am I? I’m actually meant to take these template files and edit them directly, right? I just want to make sure that I’m not missing something obvious.
Two other questions:
* Suppose I take Carrington Jam 1.1 and build a custom theme with it: if you put out a new version like 1.2, I’m not really meant to upgrade my custom theme, am I?
* If a new version of Carrington Core comes out, though, I could upgrade the files for the core in my theme, right?
Thanks,

Yes, Carrington is a real theme framework (think developer frameworks like Rails for Ruby and Jango for Python, etc.) – not a parent theme. Carrington JAM is a bare-bones skeleton theme that uses the framework.
Correct – there is nothing in JAM that has any upgrade value.
Correct again, and you get the new framework enhancements.
