Hi all,
MediaWiki's skin system has been quite a mess for some while. I decided to try rewriting it
AWESOME! Someone finally took up this task :D
and you can see the end result on [1]. It's quite a big patch, which is why I want to encourage all developers to test it and report (or maybe even fix? :) any and all issues they stumble across.
Why didn't you do this in a branch in SVN? That seems more convenient.
I haven't ported Vector skin to use this new system because it's currently under development.
Not any more, the Vector skin itself has been stable for months. All the usability work is currently done in the UsabilityInitiative extension.
