I am interested in flipping the MediaWiki layout along
a diagonal. The
top user and page actions would be on the left hand side. The left

menu would be on the top. The page would scroll to the right rather than
down.
I was planning to create a custom skin with emerging CSS standards to
achieve this
effect. Does anyone know of any work or opinion that has been
done on this matter?
Assuming you mean vertical text layout as for Chinese and Japanese (or
Mongolian), there'll be some old notes and mockups on
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9436
If you mean columns that you scroll through horizontally, you might take a
peek at our Windows 8 tablet app - see
https://github.com/Wikimedia/WikipediaMobile under 'WikipediaMetro' subdir.
It uses some WinJS widgets so won't run as-is in a browser, but you can see
the CSS that does the columns.
