Greg,<br>How someone would be 'generating an income out of distributing free themes' ?<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 6, 2012 at 8:57 AM, Greg Priday <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:greg@siteorigin.com" target="_blank">greg@siteorigin.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I've mentioned it before - I think a paid review system would work<br>
wonders. The new theme review queue is approaching one month long now,<br>
that's just far too long.<br>
<br>
Another option is for everyone who is generating an income out of<br>
distributing free themes, to pool our resources and hire at least one<br>
full-time reviewer. Are any of the commercial-up-sellers out there<br>
keen on this idea?<br>
<br>
In the mean time I'll just contribute some time. Could someone assign<br>
a test theme to me? My username is gpriday<br>
