Hi Aaron and the rest,
Jörg synchronized http://tools.wikimedia.de/~stable/phase3/index.php?title=Main_Page with your changes to trunk. Well, at last before you hacked some more ;-) The other "new UI" can still be seen at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~stable/phase3de/.
At this point there are in my view only a few questions left.
The first issue is: what is missing? In my eyes it is just getting the new UI to work in monobook as an alternative to Aarons original UI, which is working in every skin), making sure that the old UI is not lost and integrating this user interface into recent changes and watchlist, then some more testing, last bug fixes and we can turn this on at wikipedia.
So the first question: Does everybody share this view? In particular Aaron, do you want to do some more features? Or some other features?
The other issue is how the new UI will look like. In my view, unless there are serious problems with the design proposed by Jörg (now seen on http://tools.wikimedia.de/~stable/phase3de/), we should go with this design, which we talked about at length. So, are there problems with this design?
If yes, it might be worthwhile discussing the pro and cons also in regard to Aarons new UI (which is also thought out well, but has other problems in my eyes). If not, why don't we just stick with this and do it? We are so close! We could flag revisions live on the wikipedia within weeks! This is what we and in particular Aaron have been working for, right?

OK, I spend all day hacking at this again. I've re-added some of the UI stuff effectively based on my suggestions. However, the little box is still below the title (It's hard to get it with the title without using nasty hacks). It is fairly unobtrusive there.
Mhmh.
It is only enable for monobook skins for now, and the regular tagging shows on edit and at special:stableversion (somewhat intentional, editors may want the info).
Yes, that looks like a feature to me, not a but.
Bye,
Philipp
