Hi Girls and Guys,
i want to install the Daddio Skin (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Gallery_of_user_styles/Daddio [5])
I have a Ubuntu 10.04 installed machine here. MediaWiki installed with "apt-get install mediawiki" in version 1.15.
The main installation is in: /usr/share/mediawiki

where are much symbol links to "/usr/share/mediawiki" like this

Google searches give me a thread on the mailinglist with the comments

The skin is in our SVN, look at
http://SVN.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/skins/DADDIO/
[2]
You can download it with the command: SVN CO
http://SVN.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/skins/DADDIO/

The User "platonides" said:
You can use http://www.mediawiki.org/WIKI/Special:ExtensionDistributor/skins [4] to download several skins (including DADDIO) in a package.
It's not perfect, since they should be offered separatedly, and the instructions to extract into extensions folder is also wrong (those are prepared for dropping into skins folder).
When I copy the skin to "/usr/share/mediawiki/skins" and edit the File /etc/mediawiki/LocaleSettings.php the new theme the monobook is displayed and not daddio :(
Can someone help?
