What does the team do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Themes directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do license, security, and code quality reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We help build and maintain default themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to block-based themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet our Themes Team Reps who will welcome you when you join the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
