I don't think we can distribute these icons unfortunately:
https://github.com/gauravsaini03/roller-theme/tree/master/icons, as they
aren't Apache licensable. Probably best to keep your theme separate,
and just have us add a link to it on the Roller Wiki. I also don't like
its name "Responsive", as that's subjective and makes it difficult for
us to include other "responsive" themes, as well as implies that the
other's aren't responsive (if they aren't, they may be someday
improved.) Apache CXF made that mistake when it named one of its
frontend, should-be-deprecated, options "Simple", implying that the
other frontend options aren't simple, well-designed, shouldn't be used,
etc. Calling your theme "gaurav" would probably be much better--just
don't give it a name that makes the others look bad.
Once a theme gets heavy usage then it may be a candidate for inclusion
in Roller trunk, but right now most of our themes are kept in the
Roller-themes project, external to the project. Roller is 10 years old,
if we included everybody's themes in the main distribution (not wanting
to hurt anyone's feelings by saying any particular theme isn't all that
good) we'd have 47 themes to juggle, most of which would be donated and
then ignored, a maintenance nightmare. If your theme is good and people
like it, they'll keep going to your blog or your GitHub instance to get
it--what's not to like?
If you'd like to submit patches towards becoming a committer, please
check our JIRA for open issues. In the meantime, I'll try to look at
your theme (it's probably quite nice), I just haven't had the chance yet.
Regards,
Glen

Hello,
I have designed a new responsive roller theme using bootstrap. The
advantage of responsiveness is that we can have same theme
compatible on different devices and screens.

I want some reviews from the community to improve this theme, so we
can add this to next revision of roller. I have tested this theme
with Roller 5.1-SNAPSHOT and its working perfectly fine. Although I
am still working on it, to add some more widgets in the Sidebar.
One issue while designing the page for archive is that all the html
comes from Java code (BigWeblogCalendarModel.java), so their are
less we can do to this. We can improve the archive section, with
some innovative way as in calender theme we have limitation that we
cant see the blogs of previous year. There must be some tree like
structure of the archive section.
What you say ?
Thanks
Gaurav
