I agree that Gerrit is a bit of a barrier, but it's also where
most other MediaWiki development happens, so it's a good way to
get more contributors to this skin. Also, one day we'll be moving
to GitLab, so that'll be much easier! :-)
Maybe we could add to Foreground some built-in parser functions
for producing some of the Foundation components: https://get.foundation/sites/docs-v5/components/kitchen_sink.html
And maybe even some sort of front-end site config form for Foreground, so wiki admins can make changes.
But first there's a bit of bringing-up-to-date to be done. I'm
hoping to help with that.

Gerrit/Phabricator is a bit harder to get into for those not so familiar with it but I'll have a looksy. I am close to migrating away from Foreground actually, but seeing as Mediawiki's skin ecosystem is a sh***show, the choice out there is rather limited. I would love to stick with Foreground, but only if the skin could gather some steam. Adapt to latest underlying tech frameworks and become a tad more modular.
I have been testing Tweeki and I like it alot, but its one maintainer hasn't shown himself in the repository in over a month, that's not an encouraging sign ... I want to migrate at least one large production wiki to that skin, so ....
Maybe Foreground could adapt some of what Tweeki has: lots of config possibilities without touching code, latest bootstrap tech, option for sidebars....
cheers

I only just noticed that Foreground has moved from GitHub to Gerrit, and it has a Phabricator project. I'm creating a few tasks there; hope that's all groovy.
