<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>back to the original conversation
starter. Isn't a framework basically just a more advanced
configurable parent theme and are not parent themes what we allow on the
repository?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I don't mind not accepting frameworks but I think
we should get a nice specific definition of what a framework is, to me; they're
just very customizable themes yes? I don't know, I never did understand
what exactly constituted a framework. If I could get more of a
clarification.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>*I* just successfully figured out the Settings API. If *I* can do that,
then *anyone* who even *thinks* himself a WordPress/PHP developer can do so,
too.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Seriously. The Settings API is straightforward and powerful, and the
learning curve is *not* very high.</DIV>

I said "easy" and "options /page/". The Settings API is extremely<BR>complex
for non-coders and a simple build_option_page($options_array)<BR>(pluggable,
of course) would go a long way towards alleviating a lot<BR>of duplicated
