Hi Markus, you must be kidding! It looks fantastic! This is an awesome example of where (S)MW skinning must be directed to. Please make as much of it open as you can. Definitely, semantic-mediawiki.org should look somewhat like that.
Great work, Markus! Should definitely one of the wikis of the month... cheers, Bernhard ----- Am 29.
