We have a 2 steps strategy: Step 1: Do the minimal cleaning, i.e. move the Albatross templates in the templates/ dir as is, with the limitation it has. Step 2: Implement the new skin/interface extension proposal which is currently being drafted before being proposed to the list: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/InterfaceExtensions We would be very interested to get your feedback on the Interface Extension proposal.
