[theme-reviewers] Theme Review Process

[Josh Stauffer]

Hello WPTRT,

I have all three plugins installed (Theme Check, Debogger, and Log Deps) and
have been checking themes against the Theme Unit
Test<http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Unit_Test> and
Theme Review <http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review>. I've spent about 5
hours total on my first two reviews. Does it usually require this much time?
I must be doing something wrong. ;-(

Takes about 5-15mins if i'm being lazy and theme-check plugin reports a ton
> of stuff to 1/2 hour for a full check on one including security, when I
> first started it was about 45 minutes

Is it necessary for me to check the theme against each item on the Theme
Review <http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review> or is that what the Theme
Check plugin is checking?

Also, how much effort do you put into a review before you send it back to
the author. For example, let's say I start reviewing the theme and I find 5
required items that need to be fixed. Should I stop my review and post my
comments about the 5 items and reiterate to the theme author that he should
check the theme guidelines before submitting again?

I am learning and I am enjoying my time spent thus far. Just looking for
input on how to become more efficient. ;-)
