[theme-reviewers] Becoming a theme reviewer

[Peter Kakoma]

A good theme reviewer needs a solid understanding of the way WordPress
works; Knowing PHP,HTML, CSS, JS is one thing, knowing how they gel
together in the WordPress world is something slightly different. Hooks,
filters, template files, plugins, etc

Steps towards attaining that solid understanding come with , at the lowest
level of the pyramid, creating a theme, submitting it for approval and
getting it approved. It is one thing to read through all the rules; it is
another reading through them knowing that the theme you submit is going to
be judged by them. You'll comprehend them better and they'll become
second-nature

I wanted to review themes because I had a theme to give away; I read the
rules to the dot, created the theme and hit submit. It was rejected; I
realized I hadn't internalized the rules. Re-read the rules over and over
and cleaned-up after myself. Became a reviewer to create better
themes....and to give back to WordPress
