If someone converts the PHP to using HTML templates, I'll do the HTML & CSS work on Cologne blue & the other skins too :-)
(oops. went to the wrong list first time. sorry)

You go to http://test.wikipedia.org
You change the skin to "Omni" in your user prefernces
You wonder why it looks just like CologneBlue...
... until you go to
http://test.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:OmniCologneBlue&a... and find the HTML template there, which you can edit right now!
(Not everything's converted, though - work in progress)

either that, or it's not quite what I had in mind. I tried saving the contents of
http://test.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:OmniCologneBlue&a...
as an HTML file on my hard drive, but without the CSS and the outer html tags, it's not much good to someone trying to fine-tune a CSS/HTML design locally.

I added the CSS to the page, in a {{STYLESHEET}} tag. You can work online, just edit what you like, press Save, and watch the result.

"Not found on the server"
On this subject, it would be nice if a barebones current table were available that has the text for the main wikipedia pages and leaves out the articles.
As it is the current table contains a great deal I would not want to use and is quite cumbersome and difficult to handle.

Please wait a bit for tonight's dump to be finished and dropped in place.

Hmm, which pages do you mean?

Well the main page and for example:
* [[wikipedia:How to start a page|how to start a page]] * informal tips on [[wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia|contributing to Wikipedia]] * editing tasks in general at the [[Wikipedia:Editing FAQ]] * layout conventions, at the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]] * [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]] for articles themselves * ... and finally, the full kaboodle of [[Wikipedia:Utilities|utilities]] for editors.
And other pages that would be of general utility (or would need to be edited and revised) for use in an installation of the wikipedia3 software.
How_to_edit_a_page What_is_an_article *[[Wikipedia:Overview FAQ]]: general questions about the project *[[Wikipedia:Readers' FAQ]]: finding, reading and using Wikipedia material *[[Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ]]: why you might want to contribute, and how you can do it *[[Wikipedia:Editing FAQ]]: the nuts and bolts of creating and editing Wikipedia pages ** [[Wikipedia:How do I do this]] (being merged with other FAQs) *[[Wikipedia:Administration FAQ]]: sysop status, server administration *[[Wikipedia:Technical FAQ]]: Wikipedia software and hardware *[[Wikipedia:Problems FAQ]]: questions relating to present and past difficulties and criticisms *[[Wikipedia:Miscellaneous FAQ]]: everything else
etc.
The database as a whole produces a mirror, but if the point is to use the software to present information in a different way, it would be nice to start with a minimum and then add whichever articles you wanted to use from wikipedia, but only those.

As a reminder, you may only use these pages as a base for another wiki if it, too, will be under GFDL license.

This is not correct. It is only the particular pages (and material added to them) that must be under the FDL.
