Huge fan of the themes directory, they just make life so much easier, especially knowing all the downloads are safe from viruses etc.

It is great to be able to find WordPress themes in one place – a place that can be trusted to distribute safe themes that work and not a lot of junk.

Thanks a lot for this helpful interview – I wish I’d found it earlier – but it also answered my questions while waiting for my first theme release at the directory. I think giving your themes away for free makes sence. Regarding the linkpower you get, as well as visitor numbers. Multiply every visitor with 5 cents CPC – that’s value.

[...] *Theme Repository Interview* – Joseph Scott and Matt Mullenweg were both interview by Ian Stewart of ThemeShaper.com in regards to the WordPress theme directory. What was interesting to note during this interview was that when Matt was asked which features were his favorite, his response was, there are a ton of features coming soon that will be his favorite. – http://themeshaper.com/matt-mullenweg-joseph-scott-wordpress-themes-directory/ [...]

Does this mean Matt and Automattic will begin to pay attention to copyright themselves? I welcome this change in policy if it’s true. I’ve seen them remove credit for people’s work, including my own, when copyright is in place. They seem to have no people with doing so but it bothers me that they try to enforce it on others.

Very fair point about the GPL / Open Source clash towards the end. I guess if you are not comfortable with people being able to use your graphics you shouldn’t release them as a free theme for an open source platform!

Interesting interview. I don’t think licensing themes under GPL is such a bad thing for developers. It’s hard to design a theme that can fit everyone’s needs, so the real value lays into personalization and support. This will put pressure on premium theme designers to lift their standards.

@Ryan If you're interested in seeing a different business model you can check out Justin Tadlock's Theme Hybrid. And there's the model I've been developing, and am continuing to develop, with Thematic. But you're right, there's definitely a race to be the best of the same. @Dan I'm not really qualified to write that post. I don't take donations and I don't charge for support.

Freud’ und Leid mit dem Plugin-Installer in WP 2.7…

Nach der Lektüre der für WordPress 2.7 geplanten neuen Features stelle ich beim Blick Richtung untere Extremitäten fest: Die Fußbekleidung ist noch dran, es haut mich nicht aus den Socken.

Gut so – ich liebe stetige Verbesserungen anstatt…

Hi Ian, Great interview! Thank you for doing this… My ??s about the new Themes Directory were answered. I did a short version of Japanese translation of this article on my blog: http://detlog.org/archives/564

I personally would like to see CC licensing accepted. But I understand their OSS support and resilience. I suppose I can release one version of the theme GPL’ed and another CC elsewhere. Or something. It’s not a big deal. I guess the internal struggle is with wanting to retain ownership of the original and not have my “graphics becom[e] everyone’s property…”
