Looking at <a href="http://www.joedolson.com/">http://www.joedolson.com/</a> I can see that accessible web design is very important to you as it is to most web designers. Obviously, we want our work to be as user-friendly, cross-browser-friendly, SEO-friendly, translation-ready, everything-friendly etc etc as much as possible to maximize accessibility and usability and overall quality.<br>
<br>However, a lot of that is subjective and/or not necessarily required. That level of standard and the depth of the review process (that it would take for quality assurance) is simply too impractical for volunteer-based work.<br>
<br>Since you're so passionate about it I recommend starting a website dedicated to this (that's what I would do):<br><br><a href="http://accessiblewp.org">accessiblewp.org</a> for example is available<br><a href="http://whois.domaintools.com/accessiblewp.org">http://whois.domaintools.com/accessiblewp.org</a><br>
<br>Set your guidelines for a good "accessible" theme and then do your own independent reviews of themes from the official repo and showcase the best accessible themes. Do it long enough and well enough and <a href="http://accessiblewp.org">accessiblewp.org</a> will gain the kind of trust and authority in ensuring the level of accessible standards you seek.<br>
<br>The problem with official use like I touched on is that it would simply be too strict. Theme authors are struggling as it is to get their themes approved (the review process already is pretty rigorous really). There are only 1,606 officially approved WP themes in the world. That is an insanely small number. To make the process even more strict we'll start hurting creativity, because let's face it, style/graphic/feature heavy themes (the themes that most people are after), by their very definition are not very accessible.<br>
<br>I encourage you to continue seeking this level of standard, but the golden rule always remain unchanged until the end of mankind; you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.<br><br>Good luck.<br><br>Thanks, Bryan<br>
