[theme-reviewers] WPTRT = TSA?

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

We'll get there with the plans we have setup ya?, just gotta have da patience.

Donncha's reference reminds me of my tagline "I'm in your site touching your stuff."  kinda brings a new meaning to it ;/  where's the girl wearing the bikini to try to circumvent the system, i'd totally let that happen.

The completeness of Justin's "Great strides in cleaning up the repository" statement leaves me to think we really haven't gotten anywhere close to cleaning up the "old" things in the repository.   There is much more we can do to deal with that, given any abilities that Otto might let us have.   Think the whole 'up to a certain version' those old themes needs to be inacted upon with the 'adopt' program. (need to continue discussion on it on a make.wordpress.org/themes post)  The issue being that this makes work for Otto to move the ownership of the theme to someone else, if there can be some work done on that to make his life easier that'd be great, or even some automation for pross/cais/chip to handle it.

Next is getting the 'flags' set and working for child themes.     This could be done with a bit of code for the repository to associate one theme with another theme as it's parent, since this is bbpress couldn't child theme's be just children post of the parent?  Dunno.   But we still need to look into how to make it work without dropping the ball completely and letting it slide like it has been.

Frameworks - frameworks being 'the code behind the templetes'  we've already been having that as part of the discussion we just need to finalize it and so far noone really had any doubts to themes created with framework backends to be put on the repository it's just the definetions that need to be finished so that there's a clear cut view of reviewing them.

Chip's SVN itemized in his list brings me to thinking that there are some serious quality theme designers that would warrant this ability to have SVN access; .. but not everyone.  If it's possible to enable svn access to 'known developers of good intent' I'm all for that.

One of the things that 2011 is missing in all of those responses is the advent of deeper and more quality documentation from developers utilizing current and new methods instead of some of the ../shudder/ code that is currently out there.

I'm also believing that Premium Themes will offer more then just their themes, but direct monthly support contracts for maintenance; installation and customizations - more so then just the theme sale.

  You are correct ... now that you mention it I remember from reading earlier today.

  Still good to be noticed all the same (*grin*) ... we need something to help generate more interest. Now if we could only get the "Make" site on the proverbial (social media) map.

    Actually, that was Donnacha's description...

      I guess I can't complain ... at least Ryan took the time to think of and write that description.

      ... any notice is better than not being noticed at all.

        Quite the metaphorical description!


          The gates to the official WordPress.org theme repository are now guarded by a hardcore volunteer militia, the Theme Review Team, with all the no-nonsense attitude of a cranky TSA junk-fondler whose hasn’t yet had his afternoon box of donuts.


        Interesting read from WPCandy today.


        (Although my attitude is generally more driven in indirect proportion to my daily coffee intake...)
