<div><br></div><div>Speaking generally: I think Otto's main point is to be reasonable and patient. Asking within a day of the Theme being approved in Trac is neither.

</div>This needs to be communicated to theme authors somehow, then. As it<br>
stands, the process is opaque to the end user and the "Your theme has<br>
been approved" email from Trac suggests that it should go live ASAP,<br>
yet there's a lag with no real indicators as to overall progress.<br>
