In a similar fashion, the goal is to bring the directory more into sync with the in-dash experience introduced in WordPress 4.0. Unlike the Theme Directory, the Plugin Directory is not yet undergoing a backend reimplementation simultaneous to its visual refresh.

The plan is to first reimplement the simpler Theme Directory, transitioning it from bbPress 1 to WordPress. Then, with that experience and ideally extending on code common to both directories, we’d perform the same reimplementation for the Plugin Directory. In the course of bringing the backends into WordPress and building on a shared base, we’ll be in a better position to implement long asked for features — particularly for the Theme Directory, such as: supporting multiple theme authors ([#27-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27)), readme.txt support ([#215-meta)](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/215), favoriting themes ([#28-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28)), changelogs ([#45-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45)), and just generally parity with features found in the Plugin Directory. And, of course, having the code become modernized and publicly accessible will facilitate additional future enhancements.

With the help of Matias Ventura, I continued Otto’s work on the theme part of things, taking the existing theme install experience from the admin and making it work on the front-end of the theme. I’m currently in the process of adding server output, so the repository stays crawl-able for search engines. Steps to take going forward include determining what features to take over from the existing theme repository( as the theme install UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with.

Yesterday [@coffee2code](https://profiles.wordpress.org/coffee2code/) and I chatted about how we can work together on the project as well. He’ll look at the difference between the current theme repository and the in-dash experience, to determine what to keep and what to drop. Scott might also be able to pitch in on the plugin side at a later point in time, where we still need to make the theme uploader work. We’d like to have the new experience ready to go before the end of the year. For that to happen we might decide to take a more iterative approach, go with what the in-dash experience has to offer right now, and do a v2 where we port back features from the existing theme repository. This part has not been determined so far.

In light of this we have a tool request for a new reviewer assignment button. Spec of an assignment button: A button that when clicked takes the wordpress.orgWordPress. org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/) username logged in as and assigns the next ticket in the #4 queue. This will only ever assign one theme, if you have one not approved but in review you can’t get another this way – you must do one by one. It will also cc in any admins we want– primarily thinking Emil and me. Placement of button and extras: Along with this, there would be a report we could look at that showed any of these themes. This button will live as a menu item and also on the handbook in the ‘How to Join’. This will remove the request post requirement forever. This post creation each season is a bit of a pain point and people ask a lot where it is, this will solve that. It will also mean at contribution days people can get a theme without an admin being around. That should have a knock on effect of increasing reviewers – which is great. Design: As far as the term button goes, this could be a link to a page. The idea is though it is obvious. Perhaps button styling would achieve this, but we’re flexible about that. The goal is it’s obvious though and easy to use. Any questions I’d be happy to answer.
