Hello Jeff Chandler,

I would like to thank WP Tavern for keeping us updated about the Twenty Fifteen theme and about other WordPress/Automattic topics that do not seem to get mentioned at/by the official blogs for WordPress.com and the official blogs for other non-WordPress.org Automattic services/products, oddly/disappointingly those official blogs often fail to mention various things that I consider to be important enough to mention about WordPress and Automattic :( , and so if it were not for WP Tavern I would not know about certain things/various things like the progress of the Twenty Fifteen theme (which WordPress.com News, Theme Shaper (which is rarely updated, misses most news about themes, and does not do a good job of getting the community involved in giving ideas/opinions/et cetera on themes), et cetera did not even mention that it was being worked on and offered no screenshots and did not mention the demo website or anything yet except that ideas about the theme were being talked about last year or so).

Hopefully that did not sound too harsh, I just would like the official blogs to do a better job keeping us updated on various things that they often miss, and for them to do a better job getting feedback from us users through polls/et cetera to get our opinions before making certain changes/et cetera.

I think that WP Tavern should be listed as an official or valuable blog/website/resource in various areas on WordPress.com so that more people (especially on WordPress.com) can know about it and stay updated on various things that are often missing on the official WordPress.com blogs.

The demo website for the Twenty Fifteen seems to be online now , and so you might want to link it in your post and/or in your next post ;) :

Keep up the good work :) ,
