First,
thanks for the praise! Makes an ol' programmer happy :)
I
fixed #1 and #2 (and #4, partially) from your list. It's running on
wikipedia.sourceforge.com, and I mailed the updated files to
Jason.
Concerning #5, currently the skins (normal and Star Trek) are coded
within the source (file "wikiUser.php"). Adding or adjusting a skin is easy, but
for now, maybe we should stick to these two until the rest of the damned thing
is running OK ;)
#6
means to create a special version of the script just for
meta.wikipedia.com. I might even do that, but it takes time.
Thanks
again, and keep being picky ;)

OK - if you'll look you'll notice that I've been in the new
meta environment all day. It is FANTASTIC - I really like it.
A few minor bugs however...
1 - On the preferences tab, there is no option to reset the
time that I could find - I am 19 (!) hours ahead of the server and it is
really frustrating to have to read the wrong time (from my
perspective) all the time.
2 - When you create a new profile, the welcome message has a
spelling error: "Don't forget to
personalize your wikipedia perferences!" - should be "preferences". (I created
the dummy account "Test delete please" while verifying this - please delete
it)
3 - Someone needs to write the help page and the help page
for the user preferences tab. I stayed out of it, due to inferior expertise.
Apologies for the "where's the help then" remark :)
4 - I'd prefer to see the Page Titles in blue and bold as
they are on the old Wikipedia - it just looks better.
5 - The star trek skin is cool, but hard to read. Different
font colours would be nice. Is there someway we can add more
skins?
6 - is there ever going to be an easy way to link between
the two environments? Say using [[[ (a triple bracket) or even something weird
like %% to indicate links to the opposite environment. I've moved a bunch of
pages, but it is just too daunting to go through and rebuild all the links
just yet... I'll get around to it.
Apologies if I am sounding picky - so let me restate that
the new software utterly ROCKS! Absolutely... I can't wait until we port the
full Wikipedia to it.
