At long last, the formerly dead themes.wordpress.net repository is open-ish again. Disconnected and Dream in Infrared have been uploaded, and are awaiting approval. Promised Land, Walk in the Shadows, and The Thin Line may be uploaded later, if TEMPLATE: sandbox themes will work with the new system. Bus Full of Hippies will naturally be excluded, due to its GPL-incompatability.

I think you will see the hippies, just a lot grumpier than before
Good for the community (yes!) but possibly bad for my traffic (sigh). Still, I’m glad to see an inclusion of themes/theme authors in to something officially WordPress (dot org).
It will probably decrease the direct traffic, but not cut it off completely - Tarski has a link to both the author and the theme, like the plugins do. I get a fair amount of traffic from my plugin page, despite it not being suitable for anything higher than 2.0.11. I’m assuming that it’ll also be possible to add a donation button, like the plugins.
Sorry about that, Sunny, defensio didn’t trust you. If anyone does upload the hippies, it would be in violation of the John’s license. That’s the reason I don’t link to the supposed french translation of it, since it technically catches GPL from Scott & Andy’s code.
Have you considered making a stripped down version specially for the new theme viewer? It will promote your work and drive some traffic your way.
The CC license is on the graphics themselves, I’m merely the maintainer of the wordpress template. Stripping it down would mean new graphics, which would doubtlessly not fare as well.
I’m looking forward to update notification for themes.
Disconnected and Tarski already have them
I’m looking forward to SVN access.
