Hello friends,

Here is the design page for Responsive Skin implementation [1]. Included:
Goal, Approach, Tentative Timeline, Mock Ups.
Early questions for the current design:

1. Specific support for non-javascript capable browser? I feel like it is
not necessarily since browser which can not support javascript will fall
back by itself. More over, it would not be capable of carrying out
media-queries required for responsive design and some XWIKI features (such
as live tables?) anyway.
2. Is the community ok with trying to use "true (html)" drop downs / forms
in order to fully utilize functions built in to phone/tablets [3]?
3. Pressable Links: should they be bigger on mobile to help facilitate
touching on words, or would it be better to use a "background" to create a
"touch area"? Both are in the phone mock up [3]. Former demonstrated in
quicklinks, latter in the "Spaces" section.
