</div><div class="gmail_default">With the help of few volunteers, we need to go back and look at reviews from the past year to identify the errors that we catch most often. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">
Once we got this information in we could then incorporate into Theme Check (or similar) and <i>automate</i>. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">We will be looking into smaller and basic errors, nothing to complex, or issues that require special handling. </div>
<div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Second:</div>
<div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">#1 priority themes should be reviewed in right away, not tomorrow or day after, how about if we do the same for #2?</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="gmail_default">For #3 and #4 priorities to be reviewed within 48hrs?</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">This will clear-out the backlog and the process will be much faster. </div>
<div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Admins would still carry out their duties and reviewers as well.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_default">

They can perform second reviews of the "approved themes but not marked live" list. Since they are experienced they will find issues quickly. They should not be allowed to mark themes as live, but are able to reopen tickets. <br>
</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>For what it's worth, anybody can do that right now. You don't have to be "assigned" a ticket to leave comments on it. You don't need to reopen it to tell an author there are problems you've found.<div>
<br></div><div>I honestly never liked the assigning of tickets in the first place. It's too rigid, IMO. I realize that we need order and fairness, but the assignment system seems to imply that there is only one reviewer per theme, and that's absolutely not the case. If you want to go pick a waiting theme at random, find problems in it, and post them in that ticket, then by all means, do so. A problem discovered but not posted helps nobody. </div>
<div><br></div><div>There's nothing preventing anybody from reviewing any theme they want at any time, just by leaving comments on a ticket to tell a theme author about the issues. If a theme is fully good by the time admins get to it, then it's quicker all around, no? Okay, it's more disorderly. But we're all adults; we can deal with a little disorder.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
