About certain things is known that there is something going on but nothing concrete. I know there was supposed to be announced/presented on Wikimania a new skin for the WMF wikis. How it looks like and of it was presented I do not know.
That wasn't so much a presenting of a new skin as presenting of a plan to have a committee work on a new skin, and a demo. :)
The Communications Committee is actually nothing more then a mailing list. What is not send to there is unknown.
It's *people* on a mailing list, hopefully. ;)
The skin thing is being done by some sort of marketing subcommittee which isn't very well known, either. Guillaume & Elian are working on it I believe?
Really that's not a tech issue at this time, though, but more of an ongoing process to see what we can and should do about unifying and clarifying the visual identity of our sites -- that is, making it easier to tell Wikimedia sites apart from non-Wikimedia sites while looking good and having good usability/accessibility.
I don't know if they have screenshots etc up at this time.... ok:
