Thanks Emil!
Trac and Extend are back in sync again; apologies for the delays.
Child-Themes will now be considered for inclusion into the WordPress Extend Themes repository.
Note: Child Themes are not currently being considered for inclusion in WordPress Extend.
Please be sure to read the Theme Review process and guidelines; also, please note the additional Child-Theme guidelines before submitting a Child-Theme for consideration.
Please note, although at the time of this writing the upload script may note the Child-Theme “fails” as the criteria used for Child-Themes is slightly different. If the Child-Theme did actually pass you would see at the bottom of the upload acknowledgement page a reference to the new Themes Trac ticket as well as receiving an email referencing the ticket as well.
You will also be able to check the open status of the Child-Theme in this Trac report: http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/report/6
Please consider icing this proposal until further discussion.
I don’t recall formal rules on this. This post was submitted for discussion only, and some of the points there had some extensive discussion in the comments. Some of those proposals shouldn’t make it into the guidelines.
I’ve mentioned previously that we shouldn’t support child themes officially, until core supports them. Otherwise we’re going to confuse users. I’ve asked other members of the core team to weigh in further, as I’m pretty sure we’re in agreement on this.
until core supports them.
Which, by the way, will likely possibly be 3.2. This can wait.
Hi guys. Actually, it’s pretty important from a ux perspective for us to wait on this until we have support for child themes in core (matching to parent, checking dependencies, etc). Please hold off on this, and bring it up at the next dev chat.
Just weighing in to say that from the viewpoint of the themes directory code itself, it’s ready to go. We’ve tested it and the child-theme support there works. There may be a few tweaks, but no major changes are required. The only remaining question is regarding the support for dependency checking and such in the core.
This is the reasoning I relied on to go forward with Child-Themes in the repository; as well as the premise Child-Themes themselves should be as readily accessible in Extend as their respective current Parent-Themes are.
So is this yey or nay for Children?
Trac and Extend have been reviewed and brought back into sync again.
WordPress 3.1 RC1 is available … please keep in mind the Guideline changes as related to version 3.1 will be implemented one month after the release of the stable public version of 3.1
The WordPress Theme Review Team was given the privilege of managing the Featured Themes found at WordPress.org a couple of months ago. We have had many and various discussions on the topic although we had not put any of the idea into action. Yesterday, after being reminded we had not “Featured” any themes I simply put thought into action and today you will find a very new, and in the opinion of the WPTRT, an interesting selections of current themes offering various idea and designs to enjoy.
There are no set guidelines that have been established; and, the rumors of bribes being accepted are wholly unsubstantiated … although I really enjoy Ginger Bread cookies 
.
Cais not to be a stickler but the link to the extend section is misspelled.
It’s good to see some change in the featured themes. I like the inclusion of a couple of purpose specific themes like Quality Control, it shows just how powerful a theme can be.
@Jeremy – Thanks for pointing out the typo.
Ideally we will be Featuring more, and different, themes showcasing not only good design (and codce) quality but also functionality that is unique and in some cases “purpose specific”.
The WordPress Theme Review Team (WPTRT) had is regular bi-weekly meeting on November 13, 2010.
We covered many agenda items although it would have been nice to see more people in attendance.
From the IRC Logs: the meeting started at approximately 16:12 UTC; and, concluded at approximately 18:22 UTC. Please make sure to read the log files for the actual transcript of the meeting, the following is just a short re-cap of the discussions.
The ideas discussed were:
The meeting was much longer than we had anticipated but it allowed us to prepare for the WordPress Weekly podcast (episode 106) where the WPTRT was one of the featured topics.
The next meeting of the WPTRT will be scheduled for November 27, 2010 at 16:00 UTC.
The theme uploader tool now performs a much more extensive scan …
The next meeting of the WordPress Theme Review Team is scheduled for November 13 at 11:00AM (Eastern Time Zone or GMT-5) and will be held in the #wordpress-themes channel on freenode.net
We will be looking at these agenda items:
Past agenda items that may also be discussed:
Although we are open to suggestions for agenda items, we are also looking to keep the meeting from one to one-and-a-half hours.
