I definitely agree, Chip.<br>
<br>
I wanted to focus on a set of meaningful tags that described "types"
of themes though. We've kind of taken a single tag, e-commerce,
and ran with it (with some good ideas too).<br>
<br>
Here's one of my favorite tags:<br>
<a href="http://wordpress.org/themes/tags/photoblogging" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org/themes/tags/photoblogging</a><br>
<br>
I think a good first step would be for us to come up with similar,
useful tags for users that describe the types of themes they can
download.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>But I'd still like to see some standard way for Themes to
declare that support, since if the "e-commerce" tag is added,
a reviewer is going to have to verify the tag is appropriate.
A simple add_theme_support( 'plugin-name' ) call would meet
that requirement very nicely.</div>

I like the idea of automation for plugin support. We just
need plugins and themes to start talking to each other via
add_theme_support(), which seems to be a growing standard.<br>
<br>
***<br>
<br>
To answer the question of "what is an e-commerce theme?" I'd
say any theme that's built to support any e-commerce plugin.
We shard start creating a set of guidelines that define
these tags. Maybe we won't have all the answers, but we can
at least start formulating a standard to go by.<br>
<br>
What's going to be even more useful is themes getting the
same "readme.txt" treatment that plugins get. It would help
expand on, say, what e-commerce solution(s) it supports.<br>
<br>
Not all users look for a WooCommerce, JigoShop, or whatever
theme to start out. Many of them don't really know they'll
need both a plugin and theme for an e-commerce site. So,
they go out looking for a theme. They know they want to run
an e-commerce site. We should provide a way for them to
find the solution they're looking for. Having a generic
e-commerce tag would go a long way in helping them.<br>
<br>
E-commerce is just one of several tags though. We should
focus on what tags we can feasibly define to some degree and
come up with a list.
