It's pretty straightforward to write a new

the files "SkinCologneBlue.php" and "cologneblue.css" from the
code. I tend to agree that we need one that looks clean like
Cologne Blue but that's more usable.
I''ll have a go at trying a redesign -- but a few questions:
* do I need permission of the original designer, or are template designs
GFDL/GPL too?
The code is all GPL. Which technically means you can't put the code into
Wikipedia articles, as the licenses are incompatible. ;)
* is the code open? Do I need to be given access?
* last dumb question (honest!): where do I get it from?
The whole thing is available by anonymous CVS hosted at Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia, click on "CVS". You want
module "phpwiki", the current stuff is in the "newcodebase"
subdirectory.
If you want to submit changes, you can send a diff to the Wikitech list
(wikitech-l(a)nupedia.com), or sign up for a Sourceforge account if you
don't have one and ask Magnus to give you developer access to the CVS
repository.
