Another difference I'd like to point out is that prototype isn't 1 wiki, it's a group of wikis. If I recall correctly there will be a prototype for each of the major wikipedia projects and special projects (eg. commons). With their main page and site scripts copied there. That way users can see if everything works properly, mess with their gadgets, check common.css/.js and <skinName>.js/.css. -- Krinkle _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
