Theme Review Team Meeting Agenda for October 15, 2019

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.

I think we should mention something about the status of theme tickets. A ticket can say “Reviewing” even when no one is currently assigned.
I think people are skipping those because it says “Reviewing”, because as I go down the list, there are requests for tickets to be assigned, but those tickets are not in the top five (and no one assigned them).

  I think people are discouraged if they see people who commented on the ticket and if they are not assigned to it.
