Oh, aye. Might also make sense to have this after the talk, which discusses theory, so then the hack whatever can be where the theory all falls apart.
Wait...

It could be a 4 hour afternoon session around the dev summit for instance and could be advertised so anyone can join. Essentially it would be a hackathon focused on skins. If you were really ambitious you'd add prizes for best judged skin etc :) On 30 Sep 2015 12:49 pm, "Isarra Yos" zhorishna@gmail.com wrote:
How would a hack day/afternoon work? Is that an office thing? If so, would that be something you could run based off... uh, more information?

I'd be interested in the process people go through purely from a how can I make this simpler perspective. Alternatively you might want to consider doing a skin hack day/afternoon where people build skins and learn for themselves the horror of that process :)

Jack Phoenix and I were considering doing a tech talk about how to make a MediaWiki skin. Would there be any interest in this? What would you folks want to see from such a talk?
I'd love to get an overview on creating a new skin. I would be especially interested in the "tales from the real world" aspects of working with RL, what is and isn't possible without implementing hooks, and lessons learned from past skins the two of you have worked on.
