The review incentive program is awesome for that, <br>> and I'm happy we implemented it.<br>> <br>> The featured themes list has always been something of a mystery to most <br>> theme authors. The real "problem" is actually getting a theme <br>> featured. Whenever that question comes up, I hope our default answer <br>> isn't going to be "the review incentive program".<br>> <br>> That's never been nor should it be the only way for a theme to get featured.<br>> <br>> Not everyone has the time to do reviews. It's not necessarily something <br>> they have control over. And, it's not something that should stand in <br>> the way of their theme getting equal treatment when we're deciding on <br>> featured themes.<br>> <br>> There are really good, quality themes that never get showcased because <br>> our featured themes list isn't rotated often enough. This has been <br>> discussed before, but how themes get featured is not an open process. <br>> I'd like to see that changed.<br>> <br>> I'm not sure exactly what to do to change it, but it's something worth <br>> discussing.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> theme-reviewers mailing list<br>> theme-reviewers@lists.wordpress.org<br>> http://lists.wordpress.org/mailman/listinfo/theme-reviewers<br></div> </div></body>
