Hip hip hurray!
Almost one year passed since themes.wordpress.net stopped accepting new themes, and I was critic about that in the past if you remember. But I sure know how to recognize both sides of the coin, and I think that the WordPress team did an excellent work with the new directory, located at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/.
As you can see the themes directory is now integrated under the main WordPress.org website, under the “Extend” section. It looks more organized than the previous one, and the process for uploading themes is easier and much more effective.
For one thing, right when you try to upload your theme the website will let you know about any missing attributes, tags or files that you theme has. All the themes will also be approved before going into the directory, so the quality should be higher now (themes with sponsored links are now allowed by the way).
I already submitted one of my themes there, and it is waiting a review. I will keep you guys updated on how it goes.
