Lorelle:
That sounds good to me. What about adding some functionality to the
Extend section to be able to sort plugins/themes by what version they
list as being compatible with (use Compatible up to: version number)?
Would make it easier to sort up-to-date plugins from old/dead/abandoned
plugins.

I've been thinking about this issue. It was a big deal when there were
dramatic differences between versions which impacted which Theme and
Plugin. When the Plugin directory (extend) came fully into being, we
finally removed all the Plugin links pages. We got rid of cataloging
Themes a long time ago, so remind me again why we need to do this
compatibility list if WordPress now has auto-updating and installation
of Themes and Plugins?
The key question on the compatibility lists is to which version are we
going to manually pay tribute to those who keep their work updated and
not?
What do you all say about stopping the manual compatibility pages for
Plugins and Themes for the next release of WordPress?

The time will come when those pages should go completely and
we should refer people to Extend.
This of course needs to be combined with a way of the
community being able to mark plugins/themes on Extend as
compatible and compatibility being searchable.
Good. For the time being we seem to have reached an acceptable
solution which is to consolidate the multiple-theme sites.
