Considering the amount of time and effort a developer can put into a theme in giving back to the WordPress community, themes going live after approval should be done on a more consistent basis for timed releases and to how many get released each time to make it fair for everyone to enjoy being in the first 15 long enough to justify making themes for the repository. Think about this….if you just got released and currently in the 1<sup>st</sup> spot and then a day later 20 themes get released (go live), you just got bumped down to page 2 of results, enjoying 1 day of being on the front page first 15.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Just my two cents </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>J</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Andre<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> theme-reviewers [mailto:theme-reviewers-bounces@lists.wordpress.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Emil Uzelac<br><b>Sent:</b> October-12-14 10:20 AM<br><b>To:</b> Discussion list for WordPress theme reviewers.<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [theme-reviewers] So many themes are still not live<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Theme was approved 3 days ago, please be patient :)<br><br>On Sunday, October 12, 2014, Hardeep Asrani <<a href="mailto:hardeepasrani@gmail.com">hardeepasrani@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I'm pretty sure it's a dumb question, so not sarcasm please, hehe.<br><br>I was checking out list of tickets marked as approved but not live<br>yet...
