[Mediawiki-l] how long to make a good MW skin?

[Rolf Lampa]

It takes a couple of days, count on at least a week's work, + fixing of 
bugs for different bowsers, and their different versions, aso...

For an example skin look at this Sharepoint-like skin for both Mediawiki 
and Drupal which we just finished (yesterday).

http://wiki.rilnet.com/wiki

This skin, named "Rilpont", is intended to "seamlessly" integrate the 
look and feel of Drupal and Mediawiki. They are separate  skins and thus 
can be used separately.

Regards,

I recently had to make a skin from some images made by a graphic design shop.  I made it look great, just like the pictures, but I forgot a lot of the functional things, like the table padding my users were used to or the new class on links to non-existent pages.  I'm thinking skin development is a thankless job that requires attention to detail and more stamina and persistence than I seem to have.
