I have uploaded a new version of the Winter prototype, version 0.5.
You may play with it here: http://unicorn.wmflabs.org/winter/
And give feedback here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Winter
After a significant battery of tests, several changes have been made (and will be going into test this coming week).
Most notable:
* Personal tools section no longer modifies itself upon scroll and remains fully expanded. * In-header table of contents now appears to the left of the search box. It has been further expanded to include page-context links. The visual design of the menu requires work. * Moved Language links into the page context ribbon area. - Hovering over the affordance will show some languages to better enable discovery - Clicking will open the language list. This could be the ULS; could be something else. But a pulldown list isn't working. -This is for testing discoverability. * Moved the watchlist star out of the context ribbon and right next to the article title. * Some context-ribbon button labels are now automatically updating - Discussions counts the sections in the talk page and changes accordingling (e.g., "35 Discussions") (We're aware that there are possible caching issues with live implementation) - The history link now shows the last updated time in human-readable format.
A new experimental thing:
* Added new toggle, "Hidden Sidebar". This hides all sidebar links until hover over the logo. - Toggle off or on from the sidebar. - It needs a ''lot'' of work, especially around the "non-scrolled" visual state. This is possibly a throw-away experiment.
There are various other minor changes; full changelist can be found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Winter#Version_0.5.2C_April_20.2C_2014
