<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Right, however your .xml file backup would still
retain the information necessary and that when people utililze your theme they
know it has special custom post type menu's in it and I think generally the end
user knows the difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Maybe a blurb in the readme.txt about it might be
all that is needed concerning switching themes that those post types data will
not be present.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also it's been more then 6 months that i've been
sick and gone, whatever happened to asking otto to implement the readme like
plugins do? Specialized instructions to special themes would benefit from having
the information available there a-long with a tag. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Regardless, at *THIS* time declining a theme for
its specialized post type shouldn't happen since it's not a rule or
guideline. Then what about those others that are in the repo that already
contain these? And there ARE some that are there already.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Phil,</DIV>
<DIV>I think the main issue here is simply that if someone had a blog
utilizing something like the twenty-ten theme then they should be able to
change to any theme in the repo and only the styling (not the content) would
be affected. I know with the specialized themes I have done there is no longer
the idea of a Post because custom post types have replaced them. If they
switched from the twenty-ten theme to my theme they would find that what they
were expecting to see would no longer exist. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Correct me if I'm wrong theme-reviewers but I think the major issue is
not that there are specialized themes but more that Repo is really made for
themes that follow a pre-3.1 type of WP model and should be interchangeable. I
would imagine soon we will have a few theme repos including one for
specialized themes (at least I hope so). </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>For now it seems that those of us with GPL specialized themes will have
to wait it out. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Why should they be treated any differently?
it's just post types and post types already pass the process.
Are you going to stop themes that have the new post elements? those handle
content creation as well. It's just another level, that is
all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Is it because the theme team doesn't know how
to test them? Does it do anything to circumvent security? What
"is" is specifically that would warrant them to be treated any

theme that utilize CORE code to do as such which was written specifically
for those purposes, whether in a theme or a plugin.</FONT></DIV>

'specialized' themes would be more then happy to devote some time and
energy to helping get this right. I think both sides have valid points
and the concern seems to mostly stem from placing the themes in the
regular repo. We all agree that new specialized themes are only a good
thing for WP and are a reason that 3.1+ is so powerful.<BR><BR>I think
it would be relatively easy to modify the theme-check plugin to support
specialized themes. There are only a few 'required' elements would

decide or start a discussion of the requirements I think a lot of us
would gladly help out to set up the infrastructure to support
it.<BR><BR>-Ryan<BR><BR>Sent from my iPad<BR>
