Even though I desinged the "standard" skin for wikipedia, I think Marian's "Cologne Blue" skin looks way better.
I hereby suggest that "Cologne Blue" becomes the standard skin. New software, new server - a new standard skin comes natural ;)
Everyone, please, go to www.wikipedia.com (or beta.wikipedia.com, if the former is unavailable again), log in and turn on "Cologne Blue" in your preferences. I suggest sidebar on the left, but that's up to you;)
CB (for short) not only looks better, it is less *technical*, thus not scaring away non-techie newcomers. The first look at a site often decides if one hits the back button. So, either have the current skin, designed for easy implementation, or CB, created by a professional designer!
Let me hear some opinions.
