I'm loving this idea too. I'm horrible at just dropping in and
doing reviews. I'm the kind of person who needs an organized
schedule to actually get things done. With an official theme review
day, I can work it into my regular schedule.<br>

I really like Nitin's* idea of a theme review meetup, and I
wanted to<br>
pull it out into its own thread and propose that we start as
soon as<br>
possible, using the existing IRC channel #wordpress-themes
in order to<br>
simplify the logistics as much as possible.<br>
<br>
I'm not in any position to make this an official meeting of
any kind,<br>
but there's no reason on earth that we can't just get
together and do<br>
it!<br>
<br>
The model I have in mind is <a moz-do-not-send="true"

* This isn't a meeting with an agenda: it's a group work
day. Drop in<br>
for as long as you're available, and get as many reviews
done as you<br>
can during that time.<br>
* The goal is to crunch through as much of the queue as
possible while<br>
helping and learning from our peers.<br>
* All reviewers, however new or experienced, can bring
questions about<br>
how to handle particular issues. Absolutely no penalties for
admitting<br>
you're stuck ;)<br>
* Themers, you're welcome to join in the discussion, try
your hand at<br>
reviewing, or just lurk and learn the process. However,
please *don't*<br>
use this time to ask about when your own theme will be done
-- we're<br>
taking everything in queue order, and we'd most likely just
encourage<br>
you to sign on to review a few themes.<br>
* For new or potential reviewers, more experienced people
will try to<br>
help out as much as we can with getting started, working
with trac,<br>
setting up your test environment and the like.<br>
<br>
I'd love to get this going as quickly as possible in order
to capture<br>
some of the energy that's come out of these discussions
lately. For<br>
that reason, I will be in IRC tomorrow at 1700UTC/Noon US
Eastern, and<br>
I'd love it if we can get as many people as we can to join
in, even if<br>
it's only for a short time -- if this turns into a regular
thing, we'd<br>
obviously want to work out a good way to schedule and make<br>
announcements a bit further in advance.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
* Apologies if I've got the credit wrong -- I discovered
this morning<br>
that half the list mail was going to my spam folder, so I've
been<br>
following parts of the discussion completely out of order.<br>
