A much needed update for Quality Control:
For the past month or so I’ve been negotiating a deal with AppThemes, a Premium WordPress Theme Marketplace, to transfer development of the Quality Control theme. Because of this, I will no longer be offering support, and the publicly available versions have been taken down.
AppThemes plans on expanding on the functionality, and providing the theme with much of the functionality I was not able to implement due to it just being a side project. They expect to re-release it in April.
On another note, I should have a new design for the site coming soon… maybe…
On another note, I’m now looking for other WordPress themes I can make. Gimme some unique ideas!
Nice, congrats man! Ideas… hmmmm. Maybe push the limit and try to make the nicest looking theme possible without any images at all. Idk, just thinking out loud, I always wanted to try that.
:D Thanks Dan!
Yeah the limits can really be pushed with CSS these days. But I’m trying to push my PHP limits. Trying to think of more “app” style themes I guess.
Thank you for update and awesome theme I’m happily using.
Could you shed some light on licensing? Will the new release be still free or paid theme?
Hi,
it looks cool. Can you tell me where it is available? Can I use it?
It was removed from wordpress repository. I have a copy of the theme. But we are getting some errors when using the theme
Thanks!
Congratulations for that “achievement”. :) I’d suggest an important thing when it comes to tickets (that’s what’s Quality Control about): users/authors can see only their tickets. That’s an extremely important feature that the theme’s missing (probably the only one) and it has been keeping me from set up my Ticket Support installation of WordPress (well, it wouldn’t be cool if users could see the problems of each other).
Thanks for having warned us about this change in your theme. With a work of such quality, we should already expect something similar. :P
Project Mangement Theme
There are a couple but they all suck visually and have feature bloat.
Something clean and simple with the functions of the 37Signals Basecamp mixed with getballpark.com.
I’ll design it if you can build it!
Thanks for the update – can’t wait to get my hands on this theme ;)
Mean while, i find myself on a constant search for the perfect NOT too clunky eStore theme, one that will give me the basic and most used payment options, views etc.
I think that’s a place for yo to excell ;)

I have a few ideas which can help you. We already have a forum plugins for wordpress. But some developers are creating forum modules based on Custom Post Types. Utilizing the post types, could you make a Support forum module to create a Feed-back system?
1)With the options like -Suggestion
-Idea
-Problem
-Praise
It would have the statuses like…New,accepted Feedback , Declined Feed back , In process etc.
If you develop a theme or Plugin for feed-back system. It would be more advanced than the regular support forum/Discussion boards .
You might ask …what makes it different between this and Forum . My answer is… we get a simple and readily created feedback system with a simple,light weight and styled look for a site to maintain a feed back website
Thanks!

I have some more ideas similar to Question and answers site and my previous post. I will post it shortly.
As you yourself asked us for Idea, we expect your response on what we write here. Replying back is a best thing to do when you ask your viewers something
Thanks!
how about something like debate.org where you can have a he said / she said view – point / counter point.
I’d also love to see a theme that like is like an FML site allows user to post anonymously (or not) create new posts and allows comments counts – I havent found one yet…
or a Question and Answer site thats cool and ajax like that allows users to submit questions – allows the author to answer the questions allows comments to be given to the answer.
how does one charge $ if you said project GPL ? you could’ve developed 2 versions one for those trolls that buy and resell themes and one for us noobs whom love your theme for free.
I’m confused i really love this design was hopping to use it on for free.
hope somebody created a good copy
The majority of theme marketplaces sell themes under the GPL license. The GPL does not restrict you from selling your product.
Can’t wait for the release … Thanks for the information
Any news? April is almost over :)
A wiki theme….
Seems the guys at http://www.appthemes.com/ have forgotten to release your theme! Hope they will release it soon – if you have more information please let us know.
I think it´s ok you sold it because support and development is a lot of work (and for free doesn´t pay the rent).
Hey there, first of all what a brilliant theme. I have the SVN release and have modded this into a mass wordpress multi-site dashboard as the support tickets from users and sections with FAQ’s. If you want to jump on board just give me a shout ;)
Can I get a copy? And if, how much is it?
@onder Vincent Koc ,
Nice try with theme !
Your website loopholestudios seems as Non-WordPress installation . But looks similar. Could you tell me the CMS you used?
Thanks !
Own CMS that is pretty basic and has language and mobile classes and is built for portfolio sites :)
This isn’t available from them, or anywhere else. What’s the deal?
I cannot speak for the status of the theme, as it is all in AppThemes’ hands now. The status is unknown to me as well.
where can i got the updated information? where can i download or buy it?
IDEA:
Timeline
- A new idea would be to combine it with Simile Timeline plugin, so you can track an project on wordpress. And see all the tickets in a timeline overview.
iCal
- other ideas are to put also iCal features in it, so you can export the tasks to your google calendar, so also with you mobile phone.
Dropbox
- other idea is to implement quality control with dropbox. and a drag n drop field. This gives you a way to put all kinds of creativity in it, and makes an idea management tool out of it.
Mindmap
- other idea is to make an Mindmap plugin for wordpress.
Summary:
- make a plugin that can show the posts in various ways:
1: chronologically in timeline, horizontal
2: per post, vertical, with drag and drop.
3: as a mindmap, “tags” are connections within a posts, and are shown, like a tree, but you can move the “tags” around. Like ImindMap on the iphone.
anyways, lots of ways to make something beautiful out of it.
need more ideas?
Roald
Any chance to get a free copy (even if unsupported) of the theme?
it’s october, and qualitycontrol still isn’t on appthemes. boo :(
