But as stated before, it seems volunteer work doesn’t work well anymore and it might be the time to think about new solutions. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with waiting a few weeks for theme approval and I fully respect the work of all reviewers and admins. But when we are honest and rational, we have to admit that this doesn’t work well. If this would be a company and the review queue would be client issues, we wouldn’t do our job very well. :-)
