if the British summer turns REALLY lousy, I could make something with DHTML menus at the top!
I will help too, but I'm interested mostly in making a very simple skin (default), to present a friendly and beautiful encyclopedia for those journalists, readers, and reviewers who give a strong emphasis on presentation and layout. (Just look at the Israeli internet directories, the biggest three give wikipedia a rating of C- probably just because of its "so early nineties" look, but Everything2 gets an A. They don't really bother to read their content or anything, they wouldn't understand it anyway)
And I myself think it is very important because Wikipedia, at least the English version, is no longer a "toolbox to create an encyclopedia", but a regarded encyclopedia in it's own right, let's make justice for the great content it has.
Just tell me where is the PHP code you're working on, Tarquin. Let's get this forward, I want to update it on the wiki.. Here's my motto: "Be bold in improving Wikipedia's ugly layout!" or "..yadda yadda.. learn how you can improve this website's ugly look /right now/! ;-)
