<div dir="ltr">Can I ask why declaring support for WooCommerce (or any other
commercial Plugin, such as any other commercial e-commerce Plugin, or Gravity
Forms, or whatever) would not be acceptable? I think if the following are true,
that should be sufficient:
<div> </div>
<div>1) The Plugin for which support is declared is GPL/compatible</div>
<div>2) Plugin support is declared in an approved/standardized manner, such as
<b>add_theme_support( 'plugin-name' )</b></div>
<div>3) The Plugin keyword conforms to an approved convention, such as
"<b>plugin-support-{plugin}</b>" (note: "bbpress" and "buddypress" could be
converted to "plugin-support-bbpress" and "plugin-support-buddypress")</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I see this as a win-win for developers and for end users. Simply using a
"e-commerce" tag probably isn't all that helpful, because more than likely,
users will already have an e-commerce Plugin solution in mind, and will be
looking for Themes that integrate support for their chosen Plugin,
explicitly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The biggest issue here is scope/implementation on WPORG's end. But perhaps
some of this could be automated, rather than all hard-coded in the WPORG
franken-code.</div></div>

This is the policy that was laid before us. I for one will keep that.
Responsive and Accessibility are in, let us pass that. No surveys, we
will not carry this more than we already did. I dislike long
discussion over nothing. Community was involved, provided with the
chance to talk, that will wrap this up. And note that it is not up to

<div>We ned to think about more than just mobile/responsive/etc
tags.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What about tags based one end purpose, how do we feel about
reviewing those? For instance theme forest has these top level
categories for their WordPress themes: Blog/ magazine, creative,
corporate, retail, technology, nonprofit, entertainment,
miscellaneous, mobile, buddypress, and ecommerce. Could we do
tags like that? What about a CMS tag?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>@emil - There is no guarantee that there will be new tags.
This process is very preliminary. But if a useful set of tags
can be generated by the THX38 project, then a new search
filtering system based on those tags will have a good shot at
being implemented.</div>
<div>I'm trying to take some initiative to bring the theme
review team's thoughts on tags back to the THX38 team because
I'm the only theme reviewer that was present for the first THX38
meeting and a lot of ideas for new tags were thrown around,
which made me worry about how we were going to review them.
Basically, I'd rather say, "this is what the theme review team
discussion resulted in", then say, "as one of the theme
reviewers this is what I think."</div>

It's mostly "responsive." But, "mobile-ready" and

adding three tags where currently none exist. I just don't

agree we need to find the definition that is
most useful to end users and two tags with the

two, because they are different. GIve me a

As part of the THX38 project this will most
