[theme-reviewers] "One Page Theme"

[Jeremy]

Hello theme review team. I've been reading this thread and I have a few 
ideas to consider, "or just tap delete". I'm not sure if your open to 
suggestions from non-active users of the mailing list. I'd like to help 
out when circumstances permit. Until I get a job and actually make some 
money doing what I enjoy I don't think I'd be a productive member. I do 
like reading the emails and learning what I can from the conversations 
here though. Enough about me, here are my thoughts:

I like the idea of having a separate "section" in the repository for 
niche themes. If these type themes are going to get approved it could 
become a congestion issue for the majority of users. Maybe a list of 
pro's and con's will help throw the idea out with the least amount of 
explanation.

    *The possible issues:*

     1. The need to create a separate process for the niche themes
        (/adding to the already busy reviewer's schedule/).
     2. A good possibility that the mailing list will receive a
        significant increase of /"I submitted my theme 3 days ago, why
        hasn't..."/
     3. /___________________________________________________  * This
        line intentionally left blank for reasons unknown to "inactive
        users (me)./

    *The Benefits:*

     1. A much faster turn-out for approved/rejected themes once the
        initial process is hashed out and agreed upon.
     2. A chance for new theme reviewers to join that might be
        intimidated by the process or don't think they can find the time
        to join now
     3. The increase of memberships could relieve the workload of the
        current review team, and should uncover at least a few "diamonds
        in the rough"
     4. By separating the themes in the Repo you make it easier for the
        users that do/don't care about the niche themes.
     5. Maybe kill two birds with one stone and merge the child themes
        into the new subsection


As I mentioned earlier, I don't know enough about the current process to 
say my thoughts hold any truth. I just thought I'd put my  2 cents in 
the pot.

If a separate section is formed I'll get the ball rolling and sign up. 
No guarantee I'll be able very be productive, but I guaranteeI'll*/
