<div><div dir="ltr">OK, just noticed that I've been mentioned twice so let me chime in on this one.<br><br>Priority #1 - Good to know is for everyone but that's not the reason I don't review those ticket. For me its not challenging enough to skim and hit approved.<br>
<br>Having said that, I think this should be changed and all priority #1 tickets should be put through a thorough re-review i.e check what has been added, omitted and/or changed - do they meet requirements? Do they work (if additions) as they should? No newly introduced errors (warning, notices and the likes)?<br>
<br>This would require downloading the theme, unzipping and checking the code (especially when its not possible to check via SVN diff system), Install and test then either approve or don't approve.<br><br>So, yes to thorough review but no to include priority #1 as part of the count for the incentive program - Why? Because the hard work has already been done by the original reviewer and credit for it give. If however the theme is not approved upon this review then the subsequent submission will fall under priority #3 and the next review would be entitle to be credited with a count on their approved themes.<br>
<br>Now that I have it confirmed and I'm allowed to venture in the #1 Que, here I come :) - I'll aim to do 1 from each Que at any given time when I have a free moment.<br><br><div><hr>Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 00:59:45 +0530<br>
