Not any more, the Vector skin itself has been stable for months. All the usability work is currently done in the UsabilityInitiative extension.
Ah, good to know. I must admit that Vector's code is a bit more complicated than your average skin's...currently the old, SkinTemplate-based Vector skin works, but it doesn't support fancy things like SkinAfterSidebar hook, for example. If you (or someone else from the usability team) would like to start rewriting it, feel free to! :-) On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 1:30 AM, Aryeh Gregor <Simetrical+wikilist@gmail.comSimetrical%2Bwikilist@gmail.com

Nice! Is it intended to produce byte-for-byte the same output as the current skin system? If so, it should be pretty easy to write something that automatically checks the output of a lot of pages in all skins with and without the changes, to verify that there are no errors.
Not yet at least, the indentation/newlines aren't consistent yet. Then again, Brion removed some unnecessary whitespace in r55496 for JavaScript variables in <head>, so I dunno how important it is to have everything indented properly in the HTML output.
Thanks and regards,
