<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As for the theme review process itself, that really
needs to be someones job, i've been doing it as much as I have so that it can
move the queue along so that I don't lose anymore income so an update to my own
theme can get up there. However, in doing so i've been unabled to finish
the current jobs I have because of spending so much time with the reviews; and
i'm spending so much time in tech support making sure current users are
functioning with the bad update I did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>- The review process doesn't really allow for quick
fixes like that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm really afraid that if I stop doing the amount
of reviews daily i've been doing that the repository is going to just backlog up
again. ^ and I know the only reason for that is, is cais is also trying to
get paid work done so hasn't been able to do as many as he used to doing,
daily.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1) BIG HUGE BOLD LETTERS on the upload button on
the wordpress.org theme admin upload page that states that REQUIREMENTS OF THE
THEME REVIEW PROCESS MUST BE MET. Most theme
developers including @ AUTOMATTIC have not bothered to read the
requirements yet, ref: see the p2 theme.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2) Can we update the theme checker on upload to do
a bit more?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3) A sticky post in the theme developement forum,
writing about the new requirements.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>4) Update the theme developement codex page to be
more enhanced towards the new code segments.</FONT></DIV>

whole, and request that the Theme be removed.

theme developers be able to "retire" specific themes by request? I have at
