There is a readme.txt file in the HTML folder with a list of the  
'owners' of the included skins.
This doesn't mean that these are the only people working on the skin,  
but it does indicate where primary support
and development does come from.

The Fishbone skin is based on the javascript library, prototype and  
scriptaculous, borrowing some technology from the Nokia770 skin and  
from the SqueezeNetwork web site. When Logitech/Slim Devices went  
forward with a new Default skin design, they chose ExtJS as the  
javascript framework, and a plan to simplify the web interface.   
Fishbone is often called "cluttered", which is the trade off in order  
to support many extra features.  The new default does have many new  
features that aren't found in Fishbone.  Due to the use of differing  
javascript libraries, it is unlikely that all features will migrate.
