<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 differently?
They're theme's with special functionality built into the 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>

class=gmail_quote>I think a lot of us that are developing some '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 have to be removed or
modified.<BR><BR>Anyways, if the theme team does 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
