Seems like Marius Hauken delivered the thesis in 2012.[1] A short video is available on YouTube.[2] He got several awards, at most three in one week. [3] A few of them are listed here.[4][5]

I wrote 1996 in the subject field because that was the year I made a wikisite with tabbed interface, and experimented with a paper-like design in Xt. More or less what designers today would call a material design. The present design is what I would call Monobook 2.0, and that imply a 15 year old design. Monobook was rolled out in 2004-2005 if I remember correctly.
At nowiki we had a discussion with a designer from The Oslo School of Architecture and Design around 2009, and he come up with a really nice design. The design at SNL (the other Norwegian lexicon) starts to look more and more like it. The design proposal was deemed to radical and to simple for Wikipedia. He got several awards for the design.
No, I'm not a designer, but I do like good design.

Thank you, but discussing how your site or any other specific site looked like in some year is an distraction.

Could we please update them with a slightly more up-to-date skin?
Take a look at our Norwegian competitor in the lexicon field. https://snl.no/kunstig_intelligens
I took a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and it doesn't look anything like a geocities/etc. site from the 90s, and I feel it doesn't look bad.
For the record that was my site at around 1998 - https://old-1998-site.shlomifish.org/ and people complained enough that my current site looks like "[insert year here]" that I added a FAQ entry:
https://www.shlomifish.org/meta/FAQ/site_looks_old.xhtml
See https://everybootstrap.site/ for how many contemporary sites look like.
Someone on freenode told me he thinks plain black-on-white sites look great.

As it turns out, compiling a C program from more than 20 years ago is actually a lot easier than getting a Rails app from last year to work. — https://passy.svbtle.com/building-vim-from-1993-today
