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.
