This week’s meeting agenda We have a 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.

This week’s meeting agenda

We have a meeting at 18:00 UTC today in #themereview. Lets talk about tools. We have a few things around to make reviews and reviewing easier. There are a starting to be some new projects also. Lets have a few topics:

Does anyone have an idea for a tool they need support with?
How can we help those with tools?
What tools are going on? Can we collate a list somewhere in resources? We don’t want to recommend yet. It’s worth noting that getting a tool to be officially supported (none beyond the theme check and doing_it_wrong_theme is) and on GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ repo is another step and requires design, ux, code review and decisions. However, should we link from handbook as useful links?

If you have anything else you’d like discussed please raise it here.
