If anybody interested could take a look, and give
me feedback, that
would be wonderful.
It looks nice, but the only useful way to test it is to fill it with
some actual articles. Unless I'm missing something, currently it only
has a main page with Lorem Ipsum. You can export some using
Special:Export in a Wikipedia in any language. Come to think of it,
this skin may work even better with Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikisource
or Wikibooks.
Some other comments that I have just from seeing the main page:
1. Is the main Lorem Ipsum page in Russian just for me because I have
it defined in my browser as one of my preferred languages, or is it
Russian for everybody?
Sorry, I'm the Russian guy ;), I added this text. I will help to fill the
wiki with something else.
2. More importantly, why use Lorem Ipsum when you can use an actual
Wikipedia main page?
here I think will be some problems: there are many things written in
Common.css and Common.js on wikipedia, and there are also pictures and
surely some hacks...
3. Putting the search box at the bottom is a bad practice in some
WordPress skins, and it shouldn't be carried over.
I absolutely agree! The searchbox is better to be on it's usual place: in
the right upper corner, or maybe left upper.
4. The :first-letter CSS selector is not guaranteed to work nicely
with all languages. This is not, by itself, a reason not to use it;
just take it into the consideration. For example, you can make it easy
to disable it for some languages.
