Emailed Author: You're calling CSS remotely

code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css

Offloading images, js, css, cgi, and other scripts to Google (or jquery.com or anywhere else frankly) is disallowed because you're introducing an unnecessary dependency on another site. If the file you're trying to use isn't a part of WordPress Core, then you should include it -locally- in your plugin, not remotely. If the file IS included in WordPress core, please call that instead.

The one exception to this rule is if your plugin is performing a service. We will permit this on a case by case basis, however since this can be confusing, we have some examples of what are not permitted:

* Offloading jquery CSS files to Google - You should include the CSS in your plugin.
* Inserting an iframe with a help doc - A link, or including the docs in your plugin is preferred.
* Calling images from your own domain - They should be included in your plugin.

Here are some examples of what we would permit:

* API calls back to your server to process possible spam comments (like Akismet)
* Offloading comments to your own servers (like Disqus)
* oEmbed calls to a service provider (like Twitter or YouTube)

Please remove this dependency from your plugin and, if possible, include all files within the plugin (that is not called remotely). If instead you feel you ARE providing a service, please re-write your readme.txt in a manner that explains the service, the servers being called, and if any account is needed to connect.

When you've corrected your code, reply to this email with the updated code attached as a zip, or provide a link to the new code for us to review.
