Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Your Themes encourages designers to release old themes as open source so others can use and improve them. Some benefits of open sourcing themes include being forced to clean up and document code, supporting themes can be outsourced, and it provides an opportunity to learn frameworks. Releasing themes also allows for potential fame and recognition in the design community.
