The aim of 'ManiaPress' (name of the theme/plugins) is to allow users to publish content in game without any knowledge of the 'manialink syntax' (which is a set of XML tags completely created for the game, with no other use).<div>
<br></div><div>For example, the Nadeo's official blog (
<a href="http://blog.maniaplanet.com/">http://blog.maniaplanet.com/</a> ) is using it to share news in game (
<a href="http://blog.maniaplanet.com/?maniapress=1">http://blog.maniaplanet.com/?maniapress=1</a> ).</div><div><br></div><div>We wanted to publish it on Wordpress theme repository in order to allow player to <b>create a blog on <a href="http://wordpress.com">wordpress.com</a> and to display it in game</b>. The objective is to allow user to publish in game easily. </div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>By the way, this theme requires a plugin because it has to be enabled only for one UserAgent. Without this automatic switch, web user would have the XML page... </div><div>I don't know if it's possible to bundle the theme switcher within the theme.</div>

Can you describe the intended use of the Theme/Plugin? It may very well be that such a Theme is a candidate for a "special case" guidelines exemption.<div><br></div><div>It is always interesting to see the creative things that people develop for WordPress; it's not mature yet, but we DO have a system in place to facilitate getting such "special case" Themes into the repository.</div>
