On Saturday October 5th we will have our first review weekend in a long time. The plan is then to have a review shindig on the first Saturday of every month.
The goal of the review weekend is to get together and do as many quality reviews as possible.
We will have a short meeting to get us started at Saturday at 10:00 UTC. Experienced reviewers will be available on Slack to answer questions through out the day.
We will then review themes from the top of the new and approved queues.
Authors with themes in the queue are also encouraged to participate with reviews and to submit their theme updates if needed.
-We would like to remind everyone that you do not need to be assigned to a ticket to do a review. When you select a theme, remember to leave a note in the ticket to show that you are reviewing the theme.
At ca Saturday 13.00 UTC we hope to have a live presentation or Q&A on Zoom. We will share the link to join in the Theme Review SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel before we start.
