A few people on

about doing a
customised Vector skin.
The trouble with Vector is that, as I understand it, it's an odd
melange of extension and skin, with functionality that should be in
one being in the other, both ways.
I also understand that there are plans to refactor it to be sensibly
organised with the right functionality in the right place. (Though I
have no idea if there is actually anyone assigned to such a task.)
Yes, people are working on eliminating the extension (removing features
that didn't work and moving the good stuff to core).

It's a big task, so help would probably be welcome.
Remember, you can also do customization on-wiki at MediaWiki:Vector.js
and MediaWiki:Vector.css, or through gadgets (which can be defaulted to
on). Of course, if it's generally useful you may want to try to merge
it into core or the extension.
