We are going to have an extra meeting…

Welcome to the Themes team!

We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Theme directory.

We do license, security, and code quality reviews.

We help build and maintain default themes.

The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based themes.

If this sounds interesting, read more about the team here. Check out our guide for new reviewers and the frequently asked questions.

Still supportive of this meeting but 5:00 AM local time is just a tad bit early for me to be of any use … I’ll pick up the notes afterward.

@karmatosed I totally forgot about my company xmas lunch, could we possibly start with with the topic of “Taking the contribution pack into other languages”? This is something I am helping with and would like to be present for that, the meeting will probably be an hour long so I will have to continue following the discussion from my phone.

  I pushed back my xmas lunch a bit so I will be sure to catch most of the meeting.

    Great, sorry for you having to shift things around, but it’s great you can be there as much of the meeting as possible.
