I chose Sky because it does a great job with the Geodirectory plugin for location-based directory listings.

However, the directory will just be one section of the site.

I want to use ASE, ASE add-ons and Lasso to make a great long-form storytelling online magazine.

I particularly like the Longform theme by Cohhe, but it seems it is not a trivial matter to just “merge” it with Sky.

Please advise if I can hire you to do this.
