<DIV>While I understand where you’re coming from, I also understand from past
experience from seeing what it entails. When Cais was lead they
happened nightly, every couple nights whenever he had the time during the day
and he was on top of it. Now there are quite a few more people
with the ability to do it and it’s getting done with further delays even though
more people have access to it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regardless of who is volunteering, there are a handful of volunteers with
the ability to do it; if they cannot they need to find someone who can fullfill
that part of the responsibilities within the volunteer administrators or find
someone who can do it; that which can be done within a reasonable amount
of time, not 7 days or more even after the wait the theme author needed to have
to get their themes reviewed in the first place; Either in plan or
practice.</DIV>

<DIV>Clarification is still being missed.<BR><BR></DIV>Whenever someone says
that it'll take 7 days for the theme to go live, they're neither saying that
they'll purposely wait that long as a policy OR that it somehow takes the system
that long to propagate. I don't see how someone could be mislead to think
that.<BR><BR></DIV>What's being said is that at this time it's currently taking
about 7 days queue wait before the volunteer admins are able to get to clearing
it out and pushing it live. That's accurate, appropriate and
friendly.<BR><BR></DIV>Expectations are important, telling theme authors that
it'll just be a few days isn't accurate and will only cause them to email the
list again when that doesn't happen.<BR><BR></DIV>7 days is the realistic wait
time (most of us know that from experience), how is being honest and transparent
ever a bad idea? The problem has NOTHING to do with the notices admins give, the
problem lies in ongoing ignorance and impatience in our theme
community.<BR><BR>I believe Chip or Emil already mentioned it and I also see the
same problems in some of the forums I manage. People really don't understand
that the show is mostly run by UNPAID volunteers, that's people that have day
jobs, family and a life that help out in their free time. It is not their job or
obligation. I constantly seem to surprise people with this information and their
tone get's a lot friendlier with that understanding.<BR><BR></DIV>Controlling
expectations is probably the most important thing and the admins do that well
and appropriately already.<BR></DIV>
