Hi. I do a lot of the top level reviews for plugins. I look at between 40 and 100 plugins a day. Most are new plugins. A lot are reviews for security or other guideline violations.

I spend a lot of time doing that. I spent zero time on the theme skin. The majority of the plugin team spent no time at all on that theme. And the entire time Otto was working on the skinning, he was still available for me when I asked for a second set of eyes on things I wasn't quite sure about.

We're a very quiet team.

I kind of like the new layout, since it's very welcoming to new users. It's not just a big LIST of things, that rather is daunting. It's a nicely formatted page. People like that :) I don't need it, but then again, I'm a WP Dinosaur.
