2. Put the code for the recommended plugins into the theme in a way that it will work whether you’ve actually got those plugins activated or not.

4. Fix some of the bookmarking and feedreader links.

I’ll make another announcement when it’s ready for download.

A few plugins are needed to make the AutoSEO theme run smoothly on WordPress 2.0, and a few other WordPress plugins come highly recommended.
