Next steps:
1) Trevor, Roan, Timo, Kaldari and others will refine the proposal at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Redo_skin_framework as a concrete step to develop a standard UI framework for MediaWiki Core.
2) The proposal on the table is to implement this new skin framework, port existing skins in MW core, and port it to "mobile as a skin" to ensure that we're developing a multi-device, responsive design framework.
3) We'll reconvene with a dedicated IRC session about the refined RFC, and then seek to create technical alignment and determine the exact allocation of development effort beyond the team above. This will be in about two weeks.

The aforementioned work will be coordinated on-wiki and via Bugzilla.
This proposal will only address parts of UX standardization. It does not currently focus on look and feel itself, though it would lay the groundwork for more CSS standardization as well. Other aspects - such as more consistent browser support expectations - need to be resolved independently.
