Well, one idea was to make a custom skin with "easy to change" elements to adapt it to each partner (there is currently 3 other sites that want to embed the wiki in them website).

This would have some implications :

1- Make an adresse with "the look and feel" of the pateneer. (Best would be wiki.partner.com, yet we can make easily partner.design-platform.org).

2- We know how to make the adress in the partner site redirect to a wiki page with the patner skin, using &useskin=myskin. Yet we don't know to do so that when any user from the partner site click on an existing link in the page, the skin stays the partneers skin.

3- When an user decide to edit a page, we would like that the user come back to the original wiki, where there is all the community tools such as forum, liscence specification, etc... Well, this is not exactly mandatory. What we want is the spirit being "the partner site provide easy access to the wiki content". With the community still identified under the "design platform" identity. This mean we could play on graphisms to achieve it in another way (for example a logo partner + design-platform).

So that I really don't know what is the most simple between the a skin and extracting the content of a page.
Maybe I could try to make some researches on point 2 wich is the biggest issue. We can change the mind of the project a bit to adapt to this solution.

Have a nice day.

A custom skin with the look & feel would probably be a better solution.
