[theme-reviewers] Tags and description.

Sat Aug 24 08:36:27 UTC 2013

When a end user search for a theme they come with some criteria for example:

A)
As I travel the world I want to blog and I want  a themes that reflect
travel.

B)
I want a online presence for my small business, which provides pet
services. I want a theme that supports eCommerce and has pet store look.

When I am talking about industry taxonomies  I meant for example:

- Food
-- Restaurant
-- takeaways
-- cafes

- Commerce
-- shops/business
-- eCommerce

- Technology
-- software
-- hardware
-- apps
-- hosting
-- network

- Transportation
-- car hire
-- travel agents
-- bus/coach

- Religion
-- Christianity
-- Judaism
-- Islam

- Orgs
-- NGOs
-- charities

( taxonomy above is not according to any standard)

I am sure others will agree with me that such taxonomies will help the end
users find the theme fit for the purpose.

There is nothing to say a theme designed for an aforementioned industry
could not be used in another.

Then you have another taxonomy for the feature or theme support those
should be a sign of which features of the core (eg: thumbnails, comments,
widgets) the theme provide support.

Azizur
