I'm currently trying to adapt several gadgets that are meant for wikis using the Monobook/Vector skins to the Monaco skin, and so far, I've managed to successfully port over the UTC Clock gadget and Sandbox page gadget to Monaco, but aside from those I've been having trouble since, frankly, my knowledge of Javascript/JQuery is slim and I'm not familiar with all the variables used in writing user scripts. I've fairly decent with CSS style sheets, but I still need help with Javascript, so does anyone know of some good resources I could look into, preferably tailored for writing scripts on MediaWiki?
Also, if anyone wants to see what I have done so far (and have released publicly), the wiki I have been testing my live gadget/user script code on is here:
Hi Arcane We have experienced developers in JQuery and CSS and Html5. Do let us know more about your requirements. Regards Sharmistha

Hi, Arcane 21. This is getting more into territory we discuss on wikitech-l https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l , which is for people who develop MediaWiki and accessories. :-)
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#JavaScript_a... and http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen might help you out. If those aren't quite what you need, please do email wikitech-l and ask again. :-)
Wow, your MediaWiki testers' wiki sounds really interesting: "Purpose: To describe and display various types of MediaWiki extensions, skins, and user scripts, with the intention of showing how they work in a live testing environment..." I'm especially interested in the gadgets you list at https://mediawikitesters.orain.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Gadgets -- do you mean it to be a guide to the best generally useful gadgets?
