--- Quote from: evilg123 on February 26, 2008, 08:28:33 PM ---Would a separate wiki gallery for unsupported themes be a valid option? I think that it would at least keep things within the wiki, without having to find a dedicated maintainer for the hosting of unsupported themes, while at the same time provide the clearest separation without physically separating the hosting.

Ultimately, this issue is up to the devs as they own the hosting, and they support the official rockbox. However, due to the volume of unsupported themes available I think they deserve a spot in the gallery rather than here and there on the web, or a 3rd party site. We already have two themes galleries but they are separated based on one that is strictly no copyright infringement vs. a more flexible stance on copyright. (ie the wiki vs. rockbox-themes.org)

Just as a note to add to the discussion, as you may know, I have had the new theme repository (will replace both the wiki and rockbox-themes.org) ready for quite some time now and have just been waiting for a good time to deploy it.  Currently it is planned to go live when viewports-in-wps gets committed so that the themes that will be submitted will all be compatible and to lessen the number of themes to be removed because of incompatibility.

Regarding your mock-up, the new repository looks almost identical to the current rockbox-themes.org site (as it is based on its code).  If we went with something more like your mock-up, the page would be very large and even if we trimmed it down to X themes per page, I think it would just get annoying to have to go through a lot of pages.  I also think that we would have people that would "update" their theme quite often or name their theme (depending on the sorting choices) in a larger effort to be "on the first page".
