The Theme Review Team met at our usual time today.
The first item on the agenda was a discussion of the proposal for a curated, multi-tier directory/review process. @greenshady will have a follow-up post soon, for a summary of that discussion, and continued discussion.
The second item on the agenda was a discussion of allowable content creation for Themes, per the presentation-vs-functionality requirement. Based on that discussion, the following types of content creation are allowable for Themes, as they represent trivial user content:
- Site footer text
- Call-to-Action (CTA) buttons/widgets
- One-off descriptive content blocks (about us/profile/etc.)
- Custom presentation of existing user data, with trivial content additions such as a widget/content block with a static page link, custom icon, custom title/description)
No consensus was reached regarding repeatable-field content (testimonials, services, team members, etc.). We will have a follow-up blog post to discuss this type of content specifically.
The third item on the agenda was a discussion of the team’s code snippet library. Based on that discussion, we will begin adding code examples to the Theme Review Team GitHub account, beginning with code examples for basic implementation of the Customizer API using core controls.
As a reminder, if anyone has ideas for improving the Theme directory, the Theme review process, or anything related to the work of the Theme Review Team, please join in the discussion on this post.
