The Usability Initiative's last hard deadline is coming up, and then we will be taking a step back and looking at what needs to be fixed from an infrastructure standpoint, and the skinning system will likely come up. I'd love to help this work get a good head start and be built well, so that we don't just end up with one more skinning system.
I will try and correspond more on this and in more detail in the coming days. - Trevor _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
