Hi,

I'm calling for some opinions on replacing the "old" Vector skin on
smw.org with something fresh. Stephan in his relentless pursuit of
making MediaWiki more usable to non-Wikipedia users created the
Chameleon skin [0] which seems more suitable to those who want to use
MW/SMW in different environments.

SMW no longer tries to be a product that seeks to fulfil requirements
from either WMF or Wikipedia to be used as encyclopaedic semantic
content management (that's now the job of Wikidata/Wikibase) therefore
using the "Vector" skin somehow appears to be outdated by trying to
look like the good old Wikipedia site.

Furthermore, MW 1.24 (to be released soon) made some changes on how
skins are deployed [1] and it might be a good time to say farewell to
the "old" skin and rediscover SMW's identity by changing its
appearance.
