Comment:

 We have two repositories (which @poena maintains atm)

 https://github.com/WPTRT/preview-content
 https://github.com/WPTRT/theme-unit-test

 The end goal is maybe to have the ability to switch between multiple
 layouts based on the tags in the style.css and/or readme.txt (if the theme
 says it supports shop there could be a dropdown for choosing this layout).

 We would also like some input from the design team about the layouts (some
 examples of layouts built with core editor would be great).

 I've also created a user stories that show what are the problems faced and
 the acceptance criteria needed to resolve this


 -------------

 === User story no. 1 ===

 As a web site owner, that is running on WordPress CMS, I would like to
 easily get the same demo data on my site as is on the previewer on
 wordpress.org, so that I could get inspirations on how to structure data
 on my site.

 '''Acceptance criteria'''

 Create a demo data with good generic layout (.xml file)
 Set up that demo on wordpress.org previewer
 Offer that demo on theme review team's github repository
 Link to that repository in theme review team's pages (blog, handbook and
 theme development handbook) so that user can find it

 === User story no. 2 ===

 As a user looking for a WordPress theme, I would like to see different
 layouts applied on themes I'm browsing, so that I can choose the theme
 that best suits my needs.

 '''Acceptance criteria'''

 Create multiple different layouts with different images (business, travel,
 construction, health etc.)
 Set up the previewer so that a drop down appears from which a user can
 select different layout
 Offer those demos on theme review team's github repository
 Link to that repository in theme review team's pages (blog, handbook and
 theme development handbook) so that user can find it


 === User story no. 3 ===

 As a WordPress theme developer, I would like to have the ability to upload
 different demo data, so that I can see how my theme will look like on the
 wordpress.org previewer.

 '''Acceptance criteria'''

 Offer those demos on theme review team's github repository
 Link to that repository in theme review team's pages (blog, handbook and
 theme development handbook) so that the theme developer can find it and
 use it while developing


 === User story no. 4 ===

 As a WordPress theme reviewer, I would like to have the ability to upload
 different demo data, so that I can confirm that the theme will work
 properly while set up locally and on the wordpress.org previewer.

 '''Acceptance criteria'''

 Offer those demos on theme review team's github repository
 Link to that repository in theme review team's pages (blog, handbook and
 theme development handbook) so that the theme reviwer can find it and use
 it while reviewing the theme.

 -------------------

 We should plan actions, and open a new ticket to resolve all the issues
 regarding these stories.
