I have created the skin "synagonism" that greatly improvespage-READING by moving the table-of-contents on the left and showingthe position the reader is reading! More specifically:1) The left sidebar now is a drop-down menu, always visible.2) Thelogo, the portlets personal and search and the title of the page arealways visible.3) The table-of-contents (toc) moved on the left in asplittable-pane, always visible.4) The toc is an expandable tree.5)There is two-way communication between the toc and the articles.* Byclicking on the toc, goes to that heading and the user can copy theaddress of any section of an article.* By clicking on a section of anarticle, in the toc is highlited this section and its parents are onlyexpanded, giving to the reader the big picture of the position s|he isreading. Thus improves the readability of big articles.6) If there isno toc in a page (eg less than 3 headings), the toc automaticallycloses and leaves all the space for the article.7) Splitbar has abutton that closes|opens the toc with one click.You can find it at SourceForge: http://synagonism-mw.sourceforge.net/ I don't have much MediaWiki code experience and I am too old to bean expert on it!!! Please, If commiters are interesting in my skin's functionality, docode review and commit my skin for me. Reporting bugs to me, I'll do my best. (my slogan at the end, shows why I call my skin "synagonism"!)

Have you considered apply for commit access[0] yourself? That way it would be easier to any code review on the code plus any additional commits within our CR interface. Dantman[1] is a fan/into the skinning stuff so no doubt he will by and comment on this email, if not, You can give him a shout on his talk page at MediaWiki wiki.
