I want to suggest that we give Brandon a lot of slack here, and be as
supportive as possible.
This is a prototype of a design, which is far better than a mockup of a
design. It is not an actual implementation, but that is totally fine. I
want to see more of this kind of thing, and by being more supportive and
understanding I think we can encourage that.

As I've said before, it doesn't work in IE. I've only just gained
access to a Windows laptop and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks Brandon for letting us know about this.
Since it will be many
hours
before I have a chance to make comments
elsewhere, I'm going to let you
know that, using a Win7 platform and IE9, the screen is illegible. All
writing is in a faint shade of grey (or blue where applicable); text
overlaps images and infoboxes; and there's massive whitespace to the
right
of the screen. Because of the very faint text, I
can't be certain what's
supposed to be above the title; however, what is there looks to all be
crowded over to the right of the screen above the large amount of
whitespace.
I'll try to grab a screenshot and send it in.

do rapid
prototyping within their own copy. The source code has been
installed into gerrit, in the form of two depots, one of which is for
specialized "modules" that change the way the prototype behaves
(snowflakes).
Links to the source depots are available at:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Winter#The_Winter_Framework
This release adds in several major changes:
* "Right rail" functionality, designed to surface content
* Search functionality
* Watchlist functionality (for testing)
* A revisit to the design of the edit interface.
A full changelog for version 0.6 can be found here:

As usual, feedback is welcomed here:
