3 of 5 members of our team are girls: designer, html-coder and support engineer.

That’s a Dream-Job

We have a girl designer as well

Damn, we have a new theme in the queue, should release it day earlier

@billyf: Updates should be available straight away with ability to download previous versions in case of some disaster

I think reviewers just read the given comment for an update and don’t look through the whole code again so this step is useless

Exactly, otherwise corrupted zip file (which was our fault) wouldn’t get approved.

I completely agree that review system needs review. We once had a support guy off for a week and star rating dropped on many our themes. Some of them never came back again. People are mostly rating support speed rather than theme itself. Another thing is – reviews are anonymous, that means that anybody can rate you 1 star without affecting their “karma”.

I’ve noticed that theme updates are taking more and more time to get approved. It used to be 1-4 hours, now it’s up to one day. It’s not always easy to explain buyers they have to wait 1 day for 5 minute fix we made.

I think that there should be also a history of previous versions that can buyers download and use. It happened to us recently that zip file got corrupted and people could not use the theme. We’ve fixed it and re-uploaded theme again within minutes, but it took maybe 16 hours to get approved.

What are your thoughts?

Yea that’s true, but nice images are usually not allowed to be used for commercial purposes.

After trying Flickr or Deviant we realized that the cheapest solution is to purchase some stock photography images. You’ll spend so much time crawling flickr & deviant and then checking each individual one for individual terms & conditions. It’s waste of time.
