Re: [Mediawiki-l] A call for skins
Hi Daniel, I've built this skin (http://www.wiki-babel.org/en/Main_Page) based on the MonoBook that came with mw 1.15. It works ok with firefox 3.6 but is a bit off with other browsers unfortunately. The code is here: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/wikibabel I can't claim it's a work of art and it's probably quite site specific, but if you like it or think it can be useful in any way, feel free :) cheers, Laurent Den 7 februari 2011 12.05.08 UTC+2 skrev Daniel Friesen li...@nadir-seen-fire.com: I've been making some improvements to the skin system for awhile now, so... If you have a MediaWiki skin you've built, feel free to bring out it's source code. Currently most of the few custom skins that exist are floating around the Internet, and they are various degrees of out of date. Bring up the source code, and I'll look into committing the skin into svn and cleaning it up stripping away the boilerplate. I would LOVE skin designs right now. If you've got a nice idea for a skin feel free to mock it up and post the mockup images for it. If it looks interesting I'll consider turning it into a real skin, ESPECIALLY if it break our de-facto traditions on what makes up a wiki skin. Our rigid skin structure is one of the big limitations of our skinning system right now, skins that define things beyond the current restrictions are good examples needed while we break open the rigid structure of our skins. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] ___ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l -- Follow me around the world: www.laurentaroundtheworld.net Learn languages for free: www.wiki-babel.org ___ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
[Mediawiki-l] Kapuneipu - help wanted
Hello, I created a project Kapuneipu that is a close cousin to mediawiki. In fact it enhances it providing a dynamic solution to problems when some authors clash, which unfortunately more frequently happens. The idea behind this project is to eliminate Dunning-Kruger Effect ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger-Effekt) by evolutionary principles. See the project's wiki page for more details ( https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/kapuneipu/index.php?title=Main_Page).

Currently most of the few custom skins that exist are floating around the Internet, and they are various degrees of out of date. Bring up the source code, and I'll look into committing the skin into svn and cleaning it up stripping away the boilerplate. Have a look at userstyles.org[1]. I'm not sure what the licences are, but perhaps we can contact some of the authors? I'm a big fan of Wikipedia Grey Lady III. Btw would you mind explaining the difference between a skin and a CSS file, assuming there is one? Steve [1] For those unfamiliar with it, it's a repository of site-specific CSS files for use with the browser extension Stylish. You pick a style that someone has defined for a given site, and everytime you visit that site, you'll get that CSS layered over the top. A CSS file is simply a stylesheet to style the markup, you can reference some images from the styles as backgrounds. An actual skin is comprised of css files, optionally js, images, and most importantly a php file that is used to generate the markup. I guess I should be clear, I'm not really looking for just stylesheets, or the plethora of monobook clones with minor tweaks out there. The reason why I asked for mockups especially rather than just asking for skins (besides saying I'd be happy to clean them up and commit them to svn so that we have an actual maintained repository of the skins) was since what I'm especially looking for are mockups that have the areas necessary for a skin to function as a wiki (something blog themes are lacking making them hard to port as examples) but break the normal rules (maybe they don't use the standard sidebar, have extra links, do navigation differently, put categories somewhere else, etc...) of how a skin looks. Besides some nice extra skins to add to the repo, I need some examples that break the normal patterns to work with and build as I rip out the restrictions in the current skin system. And hence I asked for mockups since such skins are already hard enough that most people probably would never have got to implementation. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] ___ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

It seems to me you are proposing a hierarchical vetting system.

In fact, the very Dunning-Kruger Effect is against you; group members are more likely to promote those who share their opinions or social codes, not necessarily the most competent.
