*Tech Talk**:* The making of a MediaWiki skin *Presenter:* Isarra *Date:* November 03, 2015 *Time: *18:00 UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Tech+Talk%3A+The+making+of+a+MediaWiki+skin&iso=20151103T18&p1=1440&ah=1 Link to live YouTube stream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b-8-_UpcQc *IRC channel for questions/discussion:* #wikimedia-office Google+ page https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/103470172168784626509/events/cn511a81dbs7ijlfaf0476uv0jg, another place for questions
*Summary: *MediaWiki's skins, or themes, are a lacking area that needs much love, but much of the problem simply lies with how little it is known. In this talk I will walk you through the process to create a skin and show you how powerful MediaWiki's skinning system can be, even as it is now, going from cloning the Example skin to a deployable implementation of long-awaited product: Winter.
Reminder: this talk starts in 30 min
