I'm good with something like that.<br>I think we also need to specify the Theme Author must explain why they need/want to have their specific theme by-pass the upload checks in their "User request"; maybe a form submission (a la plugins) rather than having it hit this mailing list?<br>
<br>I'm all for finding a way to open the repository to quality niche themes, but something tells me Pandora's box may be in the shadows ... are we missing anything?<br><br><br clear="all">Cais.<br>

Here's how I'm currently envisioning it:<div><ol><li>User requests theme-slug whitelist</li><li>Otto/Pross adds theme-slug to bypass white-list</li><li>User uploads Theme, using the Uploader</li><li>Ticket created</li>
<li>Ticket keyword "niche" (or "uploader-bypass" or whatever) appended</li><li>Ticket gets sorted into new Queue (just like BuddyPress Themes have their own queue)</li></ol></div><div>From there, the process is pretty much the same, except that the actual *review* will be far more manual.</div>

I like the theme-slug white-list, versus the author white-list, in conjunction with a tag/keyword.<br>Also, the reviewer(s) will need to be able to easily see the theme would require special attention after the first approved version goes live.<br>
<br>I take it this would be a completely manual process into the repo, or would we be going with a proper submission after the theme passes the niche/non-niche criteria and the white-list(s) have been updated?<br><br><br clear="all">

</div>Theme slug would work too.<br>
<br>
Tags or keywords could be added too.<br>
