[theme-reviewers] "Theme Frameworks" in Extend?

[Bryan Hadaway]

That doesn't sound right.

"a collection of organized functions" - That sounds like a boilerplate, the
foundation/back-end/under the hood.

A framework is the front-end, the visual HTML/CSS structure like the frame
of a house. Many people call their frameworks boilerplates which is just
wrong.

A house is a very good analogy to make sense of the whole thing:

*WordPress Theme Boilerplate* - The foundation, cement/rebar to support a
frame. (PHP, functions, files, theme folder)

*WordPress Theme Framework* - The frame, a skeleton/structure to
symmetrically shape width and height of areas of the house to support the
look. (HTML, divs, width, height, padding, margins, structural CSS)

*WordPress Theme *- The look, the drywall, paint, carpeting. (visual CSS
and graphics, colors and fonts)

All useful and acceptable in the repo if done correctly/well. Admins?
