Hi Marty!<div><br></div><div>Thanks for pitching in and helping with Theme reviews!</div><div><br></div><div>Before you can assign tickets to yourself, you'll need to be added to the Reviewers group - but first, you'll need to perform a few reviews, to learn the process.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the meantime, you can browse tickets, and can leave comments (which is actually how we perform the reviews - by leaving comments on the tickets).</div><div><br></div><div>To start with, try to perform a review of <a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1193">Ticket #1193</a>. Add a comment to the ticket, indicating that you are using it as a test-review; that way, none of the Reviewers will assign that ticket. Once you have completed your review, and added your review notes to the ticket, email the mail list again, and one of the Reviewers will look over your review.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To start:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Download the .zip file linked from within the Theme. (Hint: add "?nostats=1" to the end of the .zip file URL.)</div><div>2) Run the .zip file through the <a href="http://pross.org.uk/theme-check/">Theme-Check tool</a>, and see if the Theme reports any errors.</div>
<div>3) If the tool returns errors, click the "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><a href="http://pross.org.uk/theme-check/#" onclick="popup('popUpDiv')" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">Click Here To Open The Results Pop Up</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">" link, to copy/paste Trac-formatted comments</span></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">4) Add those comments to your review</span></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">5) Continue on with performing a full review based on the Guidelines and the Theme Unit Tests</span></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">6) In your review comments, indicate which comments are required to be fixed for Theme approval, and which comments are merely recommendations.</span></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">7) At the end of your review, indicate whether you suggest the Theme should be "Approved" or "Not Approved"</span></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "><br></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">Let us know if you have any questions!</span></span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; "><br></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">Thanks again,</span></span></div>

Hello Folks,<div><br>I just signed up, set up a test environment, imported all that great data, reviewed the theme requirements list(s), etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there an apprenticeship involved or what have you? I went to trac to take a shot at a theme but, either I'm blind or someone needs to approve me or something because I can't figure out where to reassign a ticket to myself?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br><br>Marty Martin</div><div>@mosquitohawk (twitter)</div><div>@croakingtoad (wordpress trac, forums, plugins, etc)</div>
